Comments: Enjoyable run. Started relatively slowly but made mental effort and picked up pace to sit behind another Serpie until reached first water station (about 4 miles). Lost him at that point but tried to remain with pace of surrounding runners. Hips became sore at about mile 8 - repeated mantra to self and dropped pace very slightly until ache subsided. Concentrated on breathing pattern in last mile. Very pleased with time as managed to maintain pace predicted from 10k time despite not having run this distance before: fastest expected pace for longest ever run! What would you do differently?: Arrange specific spot to meet friends afterwards! ![]() Post race
Warm down: Light stretching. Massage available but turned out to be 2 minutes of streching ITBand. What limited your ability to perform faster: Experience at this distance (and natural ability). Event comments: Pleasant reasonably well-organised race. Lovely marshalls. Good T shirt (albeit only in large size), free massage was a nice touch. Last updated: 2004-10-06 12:00 AM
