Proof that the 'marathon method' of racing a half works well.

Especially the last few miles running alone.<br />I wouldn't worry about the garmin distance, I don't think those things are 100% accurate.<br />By the way, what was the temperature?<br /><br />I have a half this Sunday. Don't think I can make 1:22, but 1:24 would be good, if it's not hot. But I'll use your strategy of telling people I'm shooting for 1:25.TokyoRacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293712044402763377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-81074342218278860272011-09-19T00:42:50.588+01:002011-09-19T00:42:50.588+01:00Fantastic time Grellan.
