Half Marathon 74:40, mile splits = 4:55/5:22/5:33/5:39/5:40/5:34/5:44/5:53/5:54/5:51/5:54/5:49/6:00/45
Hadn't raced since Rotterdam Marathon back in April - was really happy with result as I wanted to run 75mins & I achieved that. Also got a podium finish (finished 3rd) & a bit of prize money, doesn't often happen, well actually never happens, so made the result that bit sweeter. 1st Phill Sly 65mins, 2nd Liz Yelling 73mins - both broke the course record.
I got a bit excited at the start & went out to hard & paid for it at around 7mile. May have ran quicker had I been more controlled in the first half of the race.
Start time was 10am, conditions were very humid & warm. Course not the easiest, very twisty & on cycle way, alot of short sharpe inclines heading onto foot bridges etc.
The arvo was spent in MK chillen with friends, enjoying a BBQ, a few drinks & the great weather.
Total weekly Ks = 104k
