Rather nervous on the prep, some time since I took part in any race.
A good measurement before the start of these tough weeks to see where I stand.
Was expecting to hit 38mins in this tough terrain run.
Woke up rather early and did my usual reading of the papers, teletext surfing.
Breakfast was great until a blooper.
While deciding to "save" a spoon, I pour my coffee powder direct to the cup.
Alas, overdid it and the coffee was my favourite.
Therefore, I just drank some part of it, but it is still way too strong.
Saw the usual gang there, james , kek, mau , knew we would have a gd run.
Started off conservatively, unlike my usual front running pace.
Led the run until the end of northen loop....
was feeling rather comfortable actually...........
But again, right after that, i could nt keep up. not too sure why.
Ran a good 50m behind the pack.
It was a good controlled effort, but dun think i could have went any faster too.
At the rds back, tried to catch up with kek, but failed.
Came in a timing of 40:10 mins.
Disappointing. It was similar to 08, but with my increased load of training.... arrgghh..
But i am still keeping my fingers crossed.
It is still too early to run fast. Hold the peak later.
Did another loop of 11km after that, felt rather bad.
Had a great nap and woke up to swim.
But in my jog towards to pool, felt ok and continued for a easy 10k with strides.
