That was tough going – I really struggled with the heat and humidity – bring back a crisp, cold, February Pier 2 Pier 🥶
That said approximately the first 10 miles felt relatively comfortable – it was the last 6.2 when I started to struggle with breathing and a bit of cramp which slowed me down. Pleased to have completed it given the training I missed. My time was 2hr 38.11 (3 minutes faster than last year – yay! I’ve messaged Lou as there were errors with the timing and placements. I’ve noticed I don’t have a plan for this coming week but not sure why?
It was tough right? Obviously we were lucky with the wind, but in fact a light headwind would have been nice given how sticky it was. The scheduling is a tricky one. I was one who suggested we move it from Feb, to later in the year, but never suggested this late. In fact had it stayed in it’s usual position in Feb, it would have been cancelled this year because it was a weekend where a storm rolled in. I think further date tweaking is needed to get it right. Anyway, enough of that, well done on the run. To improve by 3 mins is cool right? A great week of training banked too.
