Super stoked! Set my PB for the 21.1km. 02:22 whoo hoo!
Got to the stadium at about 05:50. Race started at 06:30. Saw Thérèse and Nomawethu as I lined up (they did the 10km). The canon went off at 06:30. Got such a fright! Unfortunately did not see Graham but was sure we would catch up with each other.
It was a beautiful run. I think I may be making peace with flat runs! The route goes through the Waterfront past the road that goes past Beluga, along the Promenade, through Sea Point, up along the hill above Clifton. My tactic with that hill was to run for two lamp poles, walk for two. It was beautiful at the top! The 12 Apostles greeted us. Turned right at the bottom of the hill and headed back through Bantry Bay, Sea Point to finish at the soccer stadium.
The last three kms were hectic, the soles of my feet were in pain, they were burning (?)! Was lovely to see Thérèse & Noma again as I ran into the stadium. Gave me that tiny boost to finish strong(ish).
Tried to keep my pace below 07 mins a km at the beginning. Then tried keeping it at 07:30 a km towards the end.
My body & legs are now sore! Mind & soul ecstatic!
Time: 02:22.
Recommendable: definitely
