Well it’s over and what a day missed my train to the city and the next one wasn’t for half an hour so got to Milson’s Point Station at 7:20 (Race started at 7:30). So only just had time to run down and under the harbour bridge and then the gun went of. Ran straight past the line and was so focused I ran straight past Megan Gale who was there to start the races. Had ten thousand people in front of me at the start of the race so it took a little about a 1K in get through most of them so didn’t really hit my stride until the 1.5K mark. Also getting there late didn’t have time for a warm up but it’s all a learning experience all in all I am happy with my performance I ran it in 26 minutes which is only 2 minutes behind the time I wanted to do and considering my start I have to be happy with it. Also I ran the whole way so that was encouraging. The only really bad part of the day I feel was that I probably went a little to easy on myself and it was finished before I realised not knowing the course outline that well I failed to pick up the pace at the end to give me a better time but all in all was a great day and nice to be out running rather than sleeping in like I would normally do. Stayed around for a bit and watched the end of the Marathon damn those guys can run unbelievable how fresh they look after 42K. The winner missed the start and didn’t start running until 5 minutes after the gun went of and he still managed to be about 2 minutes in front of 2nd place crazy.
