I picked Charlie up at 7am & we made our way to Orumbah to travel the rest of the way with Suzy. Got there about 8am & I got a pretty good warmup of about 5km.
The race started at 9am & was getting quite hot. The first 1.5km is downhilish. But that means we have to run up the last 1'5km of the race up hill.
First km was abit too quick in 3:13. I then backed off a bit but was happy to go through 3km in 10:23. 5km was a little over 17min. The last 3km I was starting to feel buggered. I knew I was in 5th place with 4th just up ahead. I could see he was slowing down so I picked up the pace the best I could.
I passed him with about 2km to go. Got to the hill at the end & did my best to get up it.
Crossed the line in 4th place in 37:10 by my watch. Very happy with that time.
I then went for about another 6km easy run.
Around 21km today.
Later went to the pool with Charlie & got a 3km swim in
