Challenge Fun Run - Run10k

I think this time is correct, its what I think the clock said when I went over the finish line. I know its definitely very close, I might be off by a few seconds. Anyway, regardless, woo hoo! My fastest time over 10k to date. All this training must be paying off! It wasn't an easy course either, it was quite undulating, all the better :)

I'll add the exact time plus my rank etc once the official results are up later in the week.

The run was good. It was great running weather: overcast but not raining, nice and cool, maybe a little too humid. I was a BOP'er was usual but there were lots of others to keep me company, spoke to a nice lady along the way. The volounteers were very supportive, clapping, cheering us on. The undulating course made for a challenging run and there were times I was very tempted to stop but I kept going. I walked through the water stations, but only enough to get a few mouthfuls of water and then I was off again. Both of my shoe laces came undone at different points during the race which was annoying, I might have come in 15-20 secs quicker if I didn't have to stop to do them up.

Overall, a great race!


Not a lot. Keep up my training.

None! I was due at my play rehersal at 11am so Sef and I went to MACDONALDS for breakfast, how embarassing with my race number on. I had a piece of raisin toast and a pot of yogurt, about as healthy as you can get in that place!

I regret not stretching more straight after the race, my glutes were very sore later in the day.


Training, training and more training. Its all definitely paying off though. I just keep saying to myself "slow and steady wins the race" :)


WAMC always puts on a good race. I liked this one - the course was challenging, better than the usual flat 10k around the Bridges.
