Striders - Lane Cove
10km | Race | 48:34
My energy levels were pretty low last night and this morning. So I was thinking that a sub 50 might not happen today. Even a few minutes into the race I was feeling pooped. Luckily I found a bit of rhythm after a while and found myself about 45 seconds ahead of 50 pace at about the 5km mark (notwithstanding a shoelace malfunction halfway up scribbly !).
I managed to pick up a little time on the downhills after the 6km mark and held it until the finish. Happy with that except that I couldn't hold onto the half a dozen in the pack I was running with. I lost them with about 1.5km to go and it looked like they all finished about 500m ahead.

Gronk that is a fantastic time - can't read your entry from the cackleberry - but you must be happy with that!
That's good! Of course the shoelace malfunction was worth 35 seconds ;)
Jump on the back step of the 45-minute bus next time.
Hey I am pleasantly surprised by this run - you have come back really well.
Well done.
