In many races I've convinced myself I can catch the girl in front and stopped trying. I try to remind myself to go for it no matter what, but my brain gets so fried when racing, it's hard to think straight. Great job, anyway!

I forgot my puffer at Scotiabank in October and after 10K it all went downhill. I'll never forget it again!Victoriahttp://www.smilesnsnuggles.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137172801546792811.post-73017926712946832862015-05-06T09:31:08.631-04:002015-05-06T09:31:08.631-04:00Amazing the mental impact of something like that (...Amazing the mental impact of something like that (no chip)...I totally feel the pain. Great result, though! Are you a lifelong runner? I would love to even get close to that speed but I have quite a way to go - just getting to sub-8s in 5Ks and low 8s in 10Ks for triathlons.
