This is a race on a Wednesday evening. I had not run it before, so was keen to try something new. Noma and Martin joined me. It's quite far; the start is at the Durbanville Race Course. It was hot! The race starts with a run around the track and then into the suburbs of Durbanville. There is quite a hill at the beginning. I decided quite early on not to put much pressure on myself and just to take is easy and to enjoy it. Followed the walk / run strategy for most of the race. With the uphills brought lovely downhills, with amazing views of the vineyards. Ran the last couple of kms with 'Top Runner" and as he said, "we'll take the race one slice at a time".
Came in at 01:52, and received a medal, two rolls of Turbovite energy sweets and a deliciously fresh watermelon.
Got home quite late. Not entirely sure that a 15km run in the middle of the week is the best idea.
