That Roosevelt "hill" has NOTHING on the hills in Palos. I think it's just the placement (at the end of races, particularly the marathon) and I'm sure there are a lot of people who train ONLY on flat trails/paths/routes. Which is not a good strategy.Maggiehttp://www.magmilerunner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-7842564631729125142012-03-27T13:50:46.030-05:002012-03-27T13:50:46.030-05:00It isn't that bad, it is just a steady incline...It isn't that bad, it is just a steady incline for about 0.25 miles. The thing that is a killer though, is that it is ALWAYS at the end of the race. You're pushing with all you got and you're not going as fast as you want because you're trying to go uphill! I think that is what makes it not so fun, is that it is near the end, always (Chicago Marathon, Shamrock Shuffle, Hot Chocolate, etc.)<br /><br />Yeah, I crossed the finish line somewhere around 41:00 but I had no clue what that meant about my time. I had some anxiety about not having the watch and an obsessive need to check it. It is kind of like when I forget my cell phone at home and keep wanting to check it.

Since you are the only one who did not say the hill was hell, I need to hear more about it... it can't be that much of an incline, right? I must find this hill. <br /><br />I never thought about the fact that without a stopwatch you would have no idea how long the race took since they start the clocks for the elites!kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-68749972106536138872012-03-27T10:57:32.525-05:002012-03-27T10:57:32.525-05:00Thanks!
