I'm sure it was great having your family there to cheer for you! <br /><br />I've learned, and I think you will too with race experience, that you can't let one bad mile/km split get you down. You have to acknowledge, "well, that sucked", then put it out of your mind and go back to focusing on your goal. Way to bounce back with that 4:26 after the 8! <br /><br />can't wait to see what's next!Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515024311690347804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-74314898235928759742010-09-28T17:02:30.713-04:002010-09-28T17:02:30.713-04:00CongratsCongratsBig Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-6577165309580229612010-09-28T11:47:21.584-04:002010-09-28T11:47:21.584-04:00congrats to you andrew!!
