Sat 31st July Bush Capital 60k

What a race! This was the longest I have ever run in my life. I did the 10k last yr and was the first male to finish. This race I wasn't too sure what to expect & what I had been told there wern't many massive hills to worry about.....ahem......well I guess a course change can change that. I just ran my own race but did notice I was closing in on 1st & 2nd & by the turn around about 33.5k I was 200m behind Damien & almost caught up to the 18yr old 2nd guy. Still feeling pretty good I caught 2nd soon after & thought I might get Damien. By the time I got to 50k I then really sowed down. Legs went lead I could only manage a shuffle. 4k to go Dave Baldwin caught me & just flew past. By now I just wanted to finish this thing. I think the last 2k was the longest 2k of my life! Made it to the end in 5hrs8min feeling like death!
