I tried to have a go at the state 10k road champs @ homebush. Was feeling fantastic until 2k in to it. My hammie from Canberra marathon cramped up on me. I had to pull out at 2.5k. I reckon I was on track for a sub 36min too. I felt the best I've ever felt at a 2k mark in a 10k race. Went through the first km feeling easy in 3:32. The second km I felt even better than the first in 7:04. So I did both k's @ 3:32 pace. Just after 2km My right hammie started to slow my stride down & just a bit further along it started to cramp. I thought I'd better pull out....it's only a race. If I kept going I would've done a crap time & been off injured for quite awhile.
I'm hoping i'll be back running soon
