Plan your great Southeast Asia trip around a race calendar. ;) How are the Great Birthday Resolutions going? <br /><br />I definitely think I didn't have enough food beforehand. I woke up pretty early and had my usual pb on toast, but forgot I had nearly 2 hours before race start instead of rolling right out the door for my usual Sunday run.

Definitely means you didn't get enough pre-race fuel. I would love to do a race in Singapore someday...maybe.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-32282914943673632622013-11-22T09:14:47.428+08:002013-11-22T09:14:47.428+08:00Thanks!

Sooner or later I'll figure out what it is I want to focus on then just go for it.

I&...Happy Birthday. Sounds like it was a nice one.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure most people have a drop -off in motivation after a big race. I certainly do. I think it's a combination of fatigue from the race and fatigue from maintaining such a high level of training for so long. And then having reached your goal - what next? Sometimes it takes a while till you know what that is.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-78350413290302601092013-11-21T23:16:38.574+08:002013-11-21T23:16:38.574+08:00Happy Belated Birthday!
