I’ll be in Wave H, DW is in J. Should I be nice and drop back with her?
Around a month away!
For the first time, this year DH and I are in the same wave. In past Peachtrees he has never dropped back to my corral and I generally like it that way! He is a faster runner who just didn't have a good POT race this year. When I feel the pressure to keep up with him, I try to keep HIS pace and things don't work out too well. He is faster, has a longer stride and does much better with heat/ humidity than I do, so even in the same corral, we may not "run together" throughout the race this year.
That said, he has dropped back with me during my 4 Disney marathons, and he DID pace me on our Memorial Day race doing a slow 1:00/:30 run/walk ratio, but even then, by mile 10 I was fading fast and by mile 11 - 12, I told him to go on and finish and I came in a later. We've learned that even if we start together, there may be a time when I can't take the pressure to run as fast as he can and he can't stand to run as slowly as me!
ASK her if she wants you to drop back.
We always meet at The Tavern at the end!
