This was my 3rd time running in this race. The first time was in 2010 where I was pacing another runner and we finished just over 2 hrs, then in 2011 I was going to race it but pinched a nerve in my back and was forced to walk most of it. This yr I toed the line and felt pretty good except for that hamstring that's been playing up for the last two weeks. Anyway I took off and felt the pace was quite easy but after going through the first km in 3:28 and the 2nd in 3:32 I thought maybe I've gone too hard.
I just kept a pace that was hard but comfortable for the first 12km then i knew I should be able to take off as the last 12-13km is all down hill.
I finished in 11th place and 4th in my age group in 1:40:06 so I was happy with that
A great day with my running mate with lot's and lot's of laughs!
