Lo...Love this recap... you ran that race so smart. Look at that final mile! You're amazing! I am hoping for a sub 1:40 on my next half too, whenever that may be... you're right too, that it has SO much to do with your mental game and what you expect you can do. Awesome race, Allison!Laurahttp://mommyrunfast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674265795187434274.post-4329176182347395242012-03-29T19:05:27.653-07:002012-03-29T19:05:27.653-07:00Congrats on the race!

So, you rolled with it and came back to catch your super speedy friend!<br /><br />I like those powerbar gels because of the consistency too. Much easier to gulp for me. <br /><br />Awesome job, friend!! I want to come race with the cacti!Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674265795187434274.post-88420577685804661122012-03-28T18:26:53.375-07:002012-03-28T18:26:53.375-07:00WOW!!! 1:38:38 with a pit stop???

I'll try a PowerBar Gel with my next 12 and see how I do (I also gag on the consistency of Gu).<br />Love the pics - those are the mountains and saguaros of my youth!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746127583914380279noreply@blogger.com
