16 MILE TEMPO AT GOAL MP+15 SECONDS

I met Ken at his house and we drove up to meet Ben in the Valley at Mile 14 on the marathon course. We dropped Ken's truck off and drove Ben's car up to the start. From there we warmed up to Causey Dam and back (4 miles). Then we started a 16-mile tempo at the marathon start line.

I was hoping to hit roughly 5:30-5:35/mile. I figured 5:25-5:30 on the downhill miles, 5:30-35 on the rolling miles, and 5:35-5:40 on the uphill miles. I felt incredible for the first 8 miles. I had to consciously dial it back here. But once I hit the rollers at Mile 9 I was starting to work. It's a good thing today wasn't the actual day, because I had my mucous buildup at mile 15 and had I gone past 16 miles I likely would've thrown up around mile 18-19. So, that's frustrating. I really don't know what to do about it. I've tried so many things and thought I had a solution. Anyway, overall average for the tempo was 5:31/mile.
