10km | 44:46 | Race | Course PB I woke feeling pretty average on Saturday morning, which was pretty normal for a race day. Sleep never seems to come easy on race eve and this week was no exception. Still, by the time I got to Homebush I was OK and ready to give the twisty course a shake. As usual, my plan was to try and get in front of the 45 min pacer and (hopefully) draw away from him and post a decent time. Yes I went out too hard again, but at 5km I was trundling along at a decent clip and feeling OK. Then the wheels fell off. I ran out of petrol. My splits were as follows:- 4:04 1km 4:15 2km 4:12 3km 4:21 4km 4:24 5km 21:18 4:26 6km 4:42 7km 4:42 8km 4:54 9km 4:41 10km 44:46 OK it was a course PB, but I basically ran pretty crap and I just need to get fitter. I really felt ordinary for the last 4/5km and my splits reflect that. Blah. Mood: --->
