Race Day

I drove myself, Will and James closer to Mission Bay, although the traffic was horrendous!!

Amelia and her friend Frances came down later to do the 10km.

I was feeling good and had my latest fast shoes on (Saucony Endorphin Pro 4).

I started off at a steady 4:17 pace, feeling pretty comfortable. I ended up keeping this pace +/- 3 seconds/km for the entire way until the last 2.5km when my legs just lost all strength and I slowed. By the end I could barely run! But I felt really super happy with my run, and sub 1:32 was great. I never was breathing hard. I had a gel beforehand, and one at half way. (I should have had another perhaps, and more than a couple of cups of water)

Will and Nev and James ran somewhat together fast and finished in 1:27, 1:28 and 1:29 respectively.

Mark P started too ambitiously and finished in about 1:35.

Amelia did the 10km non-stop in a PB of 1:09 :)

Lovely weather and no wind, and not too hot. Just perfect.

Nikki came and supported us.
