Hi TheEd - I hope you are having a relaxing weekend.
I did the half marathon today.
Conditions were superb - cool / dry / breeze
I ran 1:21.00 - I don't have my placing yet. Guesssing 60th of 2000+
It was a fast and good quality race. Winner was from Kenya in 66 ish I believe. :whistle:
I got into a good race with 2 or 3 others and we all took turns to set pace.
Aprox 5/10 Mile splits only, as we seem unable to let go of imperial measures in the UK :duh:
5 mile 30.24
10 mile 1:01.25
I estimate I went through 1st half in 39.45ish -slower 2nd half down to turning into a bit of wind and getting tired.
I enjoyed most of the race. I had a couple of bad patches, but kept going ok. I am very pleased with this result. Thanks so much for you help!
My plan is to rest and go easy this week, then do a build up phase before training up for 10k again. I plan to have another 21k race in March 2011 ... I will be looking for my sub 80 then :jester:
Best wishes
Dave
