2017 Hot Chocolate Route<\/p><\/div>\n

This is the third time in the last three years I have run the Hot Chocolate 5k\/15k<\/a>. I have finished with the following time the previous two years — 2016<\/p>\n

2017 Hot Chocolate Finish Line<\/p><\/div>\n

1:36:34; 2015\u00a01:26:32 — so I didn’t PR the race as I finished with an official time of 1:32:19 chip time. What’s crazy looking back over the times I have run this race is that in 2015 I ran the race with a chest cold and finished with my best time\/pace despite having a pretty bad chest cold leading up to the race. I distinctly remember coughing my lungs out when I got done with the race.<\/p>\n

With the race route, you go mostly up hill for the first 3.5 miles or so and then from there it’s the occasional rolling hill followed by a gentle decline. You get to run a portion of the Dallas Santa Fe trail<\/a>\u00a0which is actually a nice trail but in a not so nice part of town.<\/p>\n

I felt pretty good about the first half of the race where I had been running around a 9:40\/mile pace and so at mile 7 I kicked up my pace a little to sub 9:30\/mile so I could finish the race with a negative split however the gas tank ran dry and I couldn’t maintain my pace. My legs felt for the most fine but I just didn’t have the energy to keep going at my race pace.<\/p>\n

2017 Hot Chocolate Finish Line<\/p><\/div>\n

Overall I was very happy with the race and learned something that I need to work on for future races if I’m going to reach my goal of finishing in under two hours for a half marathon.<\/p>\n

2017 Hot Chocolate 15k Stats<\/p><\/div>\n

I think I need to look into replacing the battery on my chest strap as I have some blanks periods. I hate this because the screws are all wonky and I hope I can get them out to replace the battery otherwise I’ll have to drop some coin to get a new chest strap from Garmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Around Mile 8 I bonked or “Hit The Wall”. I need to work on my fueling if I’m going to have a chance at finishing a half marathon at under two hours. I’ve started into that goal through strength and speed-work already with three workouts a week plus my normal long run on the weekend.<\/p>\n
