I'm already thinking about my return to Chickamauga in (November) 2007.<br><br>
I ran it in 5:10. I am pretty positive I could have broken 5 with the same fitness/degree of taper if I knew at the beginning of the race what I knew by the end of the race!<br>
I didn't do much of a taper for it-- would have been hard since I decided to run it on a whim 2 weeks before the race. Ran 22.5 a week and a half out, and then settled on the running... oh and an ill-advised 50 mile bike ride a few days before because me and tapers don't get along.<br><br>
I am wondering how I should set a tentative goal for this race as I plan out my goals over the next 6 months.
