Describe your best marathon memory.
|
2022 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon – my first sub-3 and BQ, in abysmal conditions of rain and 15+ mph winds (gusts up to 30mph). To be able to achieve my first sub-3/BQ in such sub-par conditions gave me the mental confidence to chase down my goals |
||
Why do you pace?
|
I caught and ran with the 3:00 hr pace group in 2022 Indianapolis Marathon, and stuck with them for the latter half of the race. The pacer did an excellent job and I was able to hang on with the pack despite fatigue and sub-par conditions. I’m not sure I would have achieved the same result without him and the group. I want to now give back to the community, and help others achieve their goals |

Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Don’t go out too fast! Draft and stay in a pace group pack for the early miles to avoid expending energy to weave through the crowd |
