Felt great in terms of pace, legs felt heavy but after some strides they kicked into action. Quite surprised by my pacing as this is something that use to be all over the place and just went out at slightly faster than 10k pace and done my best to hold it and it was good for me and Steve to be together pushing each other along!
I wasn’t with it mentally today after some rough news I gave it a good go. Turns out I think I got a course PB as my net time shows 33:43 and last year it was 33:45 so only 2 seconds haha but I’ll take it I guess.
Yeah love those splits. Pacing is so important. If you get it right it completely changes the race experience. As the more races you do the better you can judge it and get the very best out of each race. So sorry to hear that news as well. That’s awful. Makes you appreciate just how fragile life is when something like that happens. All we do is be grateful for the opportunities we have. I had a golf team mate pass in his 30s and always remember how lucky I am to get to live each day that he doesn’t.
