Run
Comments: The run as per usual is rather breath-taking, but the number of hills might have something to do with that. Lots of people on the course, some koalas, plenty of rain, then finally a rainbow & some sunshine. A 23 sec PB. I was a little disappointed. I was aiming for sub 2:30 for the 23km. I thought I'd run stronger than my 2006 effort. I was put off a little that my HRM said I'd run 21 km in 2:09:xx and that was at the 20km marker. At 10km it was right on track! At the official 21.1km I crossed the line at 2:17:xx which I'll take. My watch said I'd run 24km for the day rather than 23km, so some calibration is required. Anyway it seems I'm not that much stronger than 2 years ago. But then I can't say I've been training properly since IM! What would you do differently?: Training might help. Training on hills would probably help more! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Talent & training. Last updated: 2008-04-27 12:00 AM

Headed to Skenes Creek on Friday night so we could make the most of Saturday lounging about, reading the papers, drinking coffee, keeping warm by the fire etc etc. The thought of actually racing was a scary thought, particularly because the rain did not stop all Saturday.
Thankfully the rain had stopped on Sunday morning. Up at 5:30 to eat and be on the bus at Apollo Bay by 6:15, or more so stand around in the cold for 15min while we waited for the bus to drive us to Kennett River. Then there was another hour of standing around. Laura and I were ready to race, Liane just wanted to go home.
