Notes: Looking over my running record, it seems apparent that I am a middle distance runner at my best ... probably somewhere between 600 meters and the mile, closer to the former. Some of my best middle distance performances were solo training efforts; notably the 660 yard run, the 1,000 meter run, and the 3/4 mile run. In distance races, the longer the distance, the worse the performance (even though my best distance performance was incongruous with this idea: the Pepsi Challenge 10K ... but I was in very, very good physical condition at the time). On the whole, though, my conclusion holds. Also, my favorite distance run, the half marathon, seems to be better than it should be based on my theory, which could indicate a "motivation" factor. The fact that I ran so many mile runs (or 1500s) also speaks to motivation, for the mile, my favorite distance, has not been the kind of run in which I feel completely comfortable or confident, unlike the shorter middle distance runs. If I were a collegian runner today, I am willing to bet I'd be best suited for anything between the 600 and 1000 meter runs.
* I remember thinking at the time that this 3 mile course on Grosse Ile was very short; comparing my other performances during this time period, it is obvious.
