Weird? Maybe.

Glad that everything worked out, sounds like the race went perfect. <br /><br />Great job on reining yourself in at the start, that really pays off at the end, seems like you passed a lot of people near the end. <br /><br />It doesn&#39;t seem like you really hit the wall that bad, just seems like you slowed down just a tad. When I hit the wall, I just try to latch onto someone around me and follow them into the finish.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-26621459545428696842011-07-18T19:09:30.893-06:002011-07-18T19:09:30.893-06:00Congrats on the PR- great race report!

Congrats on the PR and 3rd place age group win, too! Great clothing deals, too! Fun day!<br /><br />When a race gets really hard for me, I focus on someone ahead of me and tell myself to follow them. I&#39;m especially grateful for runners who don&#39;t stop on uphills, which I wanted to do at least once at the recent Kona marathon!Tina @GottaRunNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321814382532015313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-82701868561278091772011-07-18T09:27:23.602-06:002011-07-18T09:27:23.602-06:00What a fantastic race!
