I completed VR 26. It was a 'taper' week, so shorter distances than the previous race.
"With your 1:44:28, you finished 1,785th out of 2,866 finishers and 386th out of 598 in your Age Group."
VR 27 is a full 140.6-mile race. However, they have an option to spread the distance over 7-days. I'm going to give it a try. Here's my plan:
- Run/bike at 'training' speeds (to prevent burn out). For running, this means I'm going to aim to hold my BPM at 140 or less and walk if needed to keep it down.
- Run and bike on different days.
- Have a goal of:
- One of the runs be a half marathon length (13.1 miles) -- which would be the furthest I've done; and
- One of the bikes be a metric century (100km) -- which I've done before.
Not entirely sure I'll make it. But let's give it a go!
