Forgot my bottle holder so didn't take a bottle with me on the run. It may be a short run, but I like to have something to drink on the way!

Went out quicker than planned (6:36/mile) and slowed a little on the second half (7:07/mile).
What would you do differently?:

Remember my bottle holder!

Comments:

Rainy day meant I had my shoes in a plastic bag to keep them dry. That added time. Also a new helmet that took a few extra seconds to put on.

What would you do differently?:

Practise putting on helmet!

Take it a little easier in the beginning.

Paced myself ok on the first mile. Picked up a little on the second. I held my position fairly well but was hearing the footsteps of the faster runners I had passed on the bike.

Remember my bottle!
