Running Calendar: Bush Capital Marathon (60km) - July.
This morning was the running of the 40th Canberra Half Marathon. Yesterday's weather was horrible and I'm sure that most would have thought they would be running in trying conditions. The morning brought blue skies and no wind - absolutely perfect conditions.
A very large turnout. I knew the start would be slow as some people overestimate their abilities and place them at the front of the pack. The plan was try and stick to my pace and pick my way through.
I was really happy with being able to stick to my race plan, in the end I think the slow start cost me a PB. My final time 1hr 40min which is two minutes outside my fastest. As Mick C said at the end of the race 'it's just a sprint'.
A great day and a great run. Now it's time to concentrate on the Bush Capital.

That's a good run in a large field trying to get position and a clear run. Should be happy with the day's effort. Catch up after I recover and a trip to Tassie in a few week's time. Thatnks for the comment on my Qld run.
Congrats on that - good running. Not sure I'd call it a sprint though. 1500m is a sprint!
