Up early (4:15am!) Picked Charlie up at 5am then picked Matt Bidwall up at Pymble around 5:45am. We got to Bankstown about 6:20am so had just over an hour until the race started. It was foggy around the course when we got there but soon lifted. The weather was PERFECT! It was beanie & gloves for the warmup but perfect for racing. I did a 3km warmup with Charlie. Then at 7:30am we were off.
I felt great through the whole run. This course was pretty flat for the first 5km but there was 1 hill in there but after the 5k there were some really tough hills with lot's & lot's of bends & turns in there. I went through 5k in about 18:40 & 10km in 37:40ish.
Finished in 80:24. Best half I've done in yrs! I might even crack the 80min at Lake Macquarie half in 2 weeks.
After getting back to the coast I went straight to Mingara pool & swam 3km in 1hr4min. (I'm not the fastest swimmer!)
Anyway very happy with this run today.
Left hamstring was really tight after the race, but fine through the race. I had the similar thing last yr but it was worse last yr
