Race: Sundowner 10kms Waterfront

 

I won't lie, I was in no mood to run this race, especially after last year's bun fight at the start.

 

Instead of driving through, I decided to take the MyCiti bus. Therese had said that I could get a lift back to Hout Bay with her. When I topped up my MyCiti bus card, the lady at the Spar said that I needed to get off at Sea Point and change busses, which would take me directly through to the Waterfront. This I did, only to find out that the information was not correct. So had to hop onto the next bus (after already hopping off). Was running late, did not have the biggest lunch and was getting rather moody about the whole scenario.

 

Anyway, long story short, made it on time and managed to start relatively close to the front with Therese. Saw David Green and Linda. Started off quite well. Was very hot. Tried staying with the 60 minute bus.

 

As we passed along the promenade I was looking at my watch to check my speed, I 'bliksemed' over a bollard, grabbed onto the poor soul next to me, didn't bale, did however graze both legs.

 

Lost my speed and motivation - I know it's all in the mind!

Finished at 01:05:20 not too bad, seeing that I walked a lot. Two minutes faster than last year, so not too upset.

 

Had a delicious ice-cream afterwards (toffee) with Michele, Therese, Steve and Moses.
