Good job, Gel was supposed to be at that water stop at the beginning of the loop but I never saw any there.

If I remember correctly, there is only gel for the full-not the half.  I think the first time I did Shamrock I was surprised at the lack-o-gel...but since then, I pretty much count on no gels on the 1/2 course.  There were plenty on the ground that people dropped!  If you were feeling desperate (and brave).

Good race!  It was perfect weather.

in the book, the race course showed a gel station around mile 7 or something like that.. not saying that it would have made a difference or anything... just knowing i had access to one..

you know what mean ??!!

Great run, sorry they did not have gels for you, but at least it was a great day for a run. Nice job.
