Race: UWC fast & flat 10km, Parow



30 May 2015 - What a WET race! Must say it was gorgeous running in the rain. 

It is known for being a fast & flat run. Must be honest that did initially put me off as I am not a fan of flats and only decided on Thursday that I would participate. 

Earlier in the week someone asked me whether I was addicted to the endorphins. Probably. But I think I am more addicted to reaching a goal and ticking it off a list (followed by an air punch). My goal this year, which I decided needed to happen this month, is to run 10kms in one hour. Was really disappointed for missing it last Saturday at the Voet of the Wine. 

At the 5km mark today I was at 30 mins on the dot, last week I was at 35 mins, so I knew there was an improvement. 

It's not the most scenic route, but you really couldn't see much with all the rain anyway. There was a part that reminded me of one of my morning runs in Chicago last year near the hospital area. 

I pushed myself to run faster. Super happy with my time of 01:00:45. 

Will probably do it again next year to try and beat my time. 7/10
