I wasn't able to go to Boston then and it took me almost 9 years to catch that unicorn. Best of luck to you.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308365395261709731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-63878177848943583382013-12-10T10:30:06.322-06:002013-12-10T10:30:06.322-06:00Gracie- Thanks!

I remembered you telling me about getting lost, so I watched the roads for the orange spray constantly that second loop.<br /><br />Carina- Thanks! I think maybe you feel a little lost is because after Berlin it's been hard for you to get back into a training groove. Hopefully there will be a chunk of time soon where you can truly devote a few months to consistently training. That's what it takes for me, I think. You'll get there. I know it.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574939084120691481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-80227814555157559452013-12-10T09:34:35.299-06:002013-12-10T09:34:35.299-06:00Major congrats!

Hard to be justifiably disappointed in that, but I was. I read your race report and I see you're steadily chipping away at your time, but somehow I don't see the same about myself... but that's what it takes. Multiple honest attempts before the goal happens. I'm just lost in a forest right now.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079263542797994315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838911823399772442.post-78182820989061926082013-12-10T08:15:28.476-06:002013-12-10T08:15:28.476-06:00Congrats on the PR!

It can get tough (often you ARE alone on the course, which is how I got lost, and that double loop can be difficult) but you can't beat the pre-race pasta, the swag, or the after-party! Sorry about the no BQ, but it will come. Perhaps at RnR New Orleans? Another flat course and far enough from now that you could recover!Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.com
