[quote=Anonymous]20:55 here - The PP had a good point - "some courses are faster than others" - this is totally true. Things that will help you run a better race are ideal weather on race day (50-60 degrees is good, I think), a flat course, and not a lot of people. (though crowd support can be very helpful, and that can be missing on the smallest races.) Frederick was a very small race - like 500 people - which helped me run my 3:38, though the long stretches with no spectators (or other runners) could be demotivating. I'd probably look for something with a couple thousand people. Also, I might advise not to do a race with a relay option unless you get energy from trying to compete with faster runners, because I found it discouraging in the last few miles of the race to be running with relay people who were on fresh legs that had only run a couple of miles. (Discouraging = I wanted to punch them.)[/quote]
