I was so pumped when I saw you BQ'd since I know you thought that with the week and weather (I can tell how sunny it was from the pics, ew! lol) it wasn't going to happen. SO SO SO EXCITED FOR YOU!<br /><br />This race sounds fantastic (minus the plastic cups)! Man, that cheer zone!!! I love the medal too. Very simple and classy.<br /><br />I love that you went pee in the bushes too.

That said, no matter how relaxed we may be, we still need just a little bit of the competitive side (like you mentioned) to push through the last 6.2 or whenever things start to get rough. Oh yeah, and they need to have done the work to get into race shape (obviously)! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-58337547775710213772017-05-23T12:45:12.569-05:002017-05-23T12:45:12.569-05:00Tak (thank you)!

I think the beer helped- I didn't drink much- but a few sips really hit the spot after eating all those sugary GU. <br /><br />I think going into it without any real goal helped- I mean sure- it was in the back of my mind that I could try to BQ, but I had pretty much written it off. I felt extra fluffy from food and drinks the week prior :) But the competitive side of me kept that pilot flame lit. It was so much fun and a great course!

Congrats on yet another BQ! Those mile splits are a work of art. They were all within 35 seconds of your average pace which is amazing. Also, way to go with the huge negative split. So many of us try to negative split a marathon and few of us do it. You were actually speeding up when your legs were feeling heavy! Maybe the beer was the magic potion that helped carry you to the finish (or maybe Macklemore)?! Do you think going into the race totally relaxed was a reason you did so well? Anyway, enjoy some well deserved recovery time. It is nice only having shorter distances on the horizon to help recharge. Congrats again.Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.com
