Last year when we did the Pollsmoor run, it was just Therese, Michele and myself that ran it. It was incredibly windy and I remember we were very early so found shelter from the wind behind one of the walls.This year, Moses, Martin, Anda and Linda joined the three of us. The weather was incredibly pleasant, a gorgeous summer evening.
I met Jane during the race last year, and I was so happy to see her again.
Started quite a bit to the front this time. At some point the sub-60 bus ran past and I did my utmost to keep up with him, alas, I could not. With that I think I wasted quite a bit of energy and was pooped! The soles of my feet also started burning at the 6km mark - I am so going to be visiting the Sweat Shop in the next couple of days, tired of having sore feet.
Jane caught up to me and we finished together. Our time: 01:04:26, not great at all, with that said, it is three minutes faster than last year, so am happy about that.
The race organisers' medals did not arrive in time, but they made a plan and all the runners received a peak cap, there were a lot of colours to choose from. Must admit that a cap is much more practical than a medal.
