I was going to jump in the car and do the run at 7:15. Two problems. 1. My wife has the car 2. It seems to start at 7:00 and it is 6:36. I get changed and run hard the mile or so to get there. It looks like the run is not going to start on time. I stand in the club house, sweating every where.
Eventually we line up. I don't go off too fast. As usual I pass plenty on the big hill, and get passed by many on the way down. I get passed by man who appears to be wearing his pants. I decide I do not want to be beaten by him. Just past Mcdonald's I see Jenny. It is like a repeat of the track as I follow her round for a while. She seems to be struggling and I pass.
I'm running hard but it is not too bad. On the final hill through the park I pass a number of people. I sprint past a couple of more in the final straight.
I cross the line and then collapse in a pool of sweat. Supposedly it is 28 celsius. I look at the time, not bad for a 5km. But it is not 5km, more like 3 miles. Good to be back and racing.
I then have to run the mile or so back to get back to see the kids at bed time.
3miles 21:52
