Of course there are other factors which will play into my race pace come race day like whether the weather cooperates or not. If it's 60 degrees and partly cloudy at the start with little wind and maintains those same conditions that would be perfect, but chances are it'll be windy and in the 70's if not warmer being that May is typically a HOT month. Another factor which could be a possible challenge to overcome is how I feel come race day. Will I let my head get in the way and tense up, get too nervous, go out too hard, not stay relaxed?
There are many factors which could effect my overall pace, but I'm fairly confident this is an attainable goal. Worse comes to worse I'll average a 6:00 per mile pace and will learn from this experience and try again!
You may be wondering how I was able to calculate this pace. There are countless pace charts on-line which will tell you mile by mile what time you should be at until the magical 13.1 mile marker. I attached a couple of these links to these pace charts for your convenience.
