Perfect conditions, good temperature v little wind and the course was a little short(according to watch). I was able to run at a consistent pace throughout just quicker than my target pace of 4.45 km. From approx 16km to 17km I really had to push myself mentally to keep at that pace but for the rest of it I was more concerned about going too fast and kept checking myself. At the end I was also able to speed up the hill and felt that i finished strongly. Will happily admit that I didn’t have a massive amount left when I crossed the line.
I am very very happy with that time.
