 Run
Comments: I had a great first 6kms - my time was 31mins over 6kms which is good for me and I was happy - I had trouble maintaining it and AGAIN really struggled at the 7km mark. My body felt generally fine - I think I just need to train a lot more in order to improve. I was running and thinking about the run part of a Half IM and know that I am SOOOOO far from doing that at the moment... What would you do differently?: More training!  Post race
Warm down: Walked and stretched and then sat down and drank some juice and water and ate some rice crackers and a banana - came home and made pancakes! What limited your ability to perform faster: Level of fitness at this stage Event comments: A NEW PB! 52.58min - Previous PB 53.44min I beat my previous PB of 53.44 but I am not overjoyed and I am not sure why - I think I could have run a little bit harder - I think I am getting to a point where I expect more from myself - It is really dumb because 12 months ago I never even would have CONTEMPLATED running in a 10km race. Not ever! Anyway - have to be kinder to myself. I did a great job and I know there were a lot of people still in bed nursing hangovers and not even thinking and walking 1 km letting alone running 10! I ran today and I did not stop :) Profile Album Last updated: 2005-02-12 12:00 AM

| Member 32 Wellington | Subject: RE: Brighton to the Bay 10km run Ka pai to mahi! [Maori for "you're doing great"]. Love the pics - you look so relaxed and happy - and that is the way it should be. Keep up with your efforts - it is so worth it - and remember how far you have come. You're awesome. Cheers. Susan. PS I'm looking at a 9.1km ocean swim for my big one next summer - yikes!! - but it is all in the training - I need to lift my speed consistently by 10% to make cut off times - have a year to do it in. |

Extreme Veteran 393 Tokyo, Japan | Subject: RE: Brighton to the Bay 10km run Great job M!! You're right, you shouldn't be dissapointed with a PB...ever!! I know what you mean about expecting more of yourself though. That's not a bad thing...it's just something that will drive you to keep posting those PB's. I think you'll be surprised how easily it is to increase your distance to 21km's. Going from 0 to 10 is huge step!! But 10 to 20 is much easier. Just take it slowly, I should listen to this advice, and you'll be running 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20km's before you know it. You can do a Half IM...I KNOW YOU CAN!! |
