Sutherland to Surf

A beautiful day out in the Shire and it was a first trip to Cronulla for me. (another thing i am loving about all this running is the bits of sydney that i am seeing that i've never seen before).

My race was kinda average. i was wondering how i'd feel after friday and i don't think i can blame that fo rmy sorta average run. i went out way too hard. my first 3 k i did in 15.46 which is too fast for me. The next 2 were in 10.36 which made 5k in 26.22 (faster than my 5k pb). then i hit a hill and completely lost it. i had to walk for a minute so i did the next 2 k in 12.47. The next 2 (7-9) were slow recovery k's, but no walking, in 12.40. Then i picked it up with my last 2 k's in 5.21 and 5.36. All up that is 62.46 (but i'm not sure about the maths - i just added it all up cause i pressed lap instead of stop at the finish!!).

Not too bad except for kilometres 5 - 9!!!!

But was a fun day and i actually enjoyed the last 3 k's and found the last hill easy - unlike the other ones! Also a great bbq with excellent hosts and a day with lots of CR and Sweat buddies :)
