Postal 1 hour

I'm doing my first one in two weeks. Any tips from the veterans? I'm shooting for 5,000 yards which I think works out to about a 1:12 pace per 100.

  • my fear is if I drop off pace for a 500, I will never be able to get back on track, at least if I'm always on the clock, I'll know when I start slowing down immediatley. the down side to either approach is if I do start slowing down, there isn't much I'll be able to do about it.:sad: I will definitley tackle it as 10x500, keeping particular attention to the splits at 200, 250 (because its the psychological 1/2 way point to 500, its a downhill swim from there), 300, 400 and 500. man, what the hell did I get myself into :frustrated:
