Did it! Warm up, pr and cool down. Lovely weather for the 500th and my band playing, so much fun apart from the usual congestion along the first km. Paul was pacing Shana to about 29 and Steve u went with them too. I was going to but didn’t want to start right on the edge so went a bit more in the middle. They all went flying off, even I was doing 5:30/km initially so slowed myself down and eventually caught and passed them after the first km. Heard the band playing when I got to starsky and hatch which spurred me on, too much in fact, as when I went passed them I seemed to speed up and at one point I was going 5:15 pace 🤦🏼‍♀️ I soon slowed myself back down to 5:50/km on the top prom and sustained that until about 250m out when I realised I probably needed to speed up to get sub 29. On the last 100m I could hear someone behind me so I sprinted faster and faster so they couldn’t pass me 😂 anyway I’m pleased with 28:39, and more under 29 than I thought due to my sprint finish 😂 xxx
