Well the ATB is a thing of the past ... my fourth 30K race is now done. It was BEAUTIFUK weather +6 and sunny ... couldn't ask for better weather for running a race. :)
I'm pleased to report that I managed a 3:30:47 finish time and 10K splits of 1:12; 2:21 and 3:30 and a 15K aplit of 1:46 so I managed to keep an even pace the ENTIRE TIME! I really and truly ran my own race at my own pace for the first time. I think I really did a 3:28 as I had a 2 min wait for a train around 9K :)
Now the drag is that JUST as I was coming into Copps Coliseum to the finishing line. There I am the finish line is a mere 100 metres away and I start my finishing sprint ... and then SPLAT!! I go down in a heap on the floor. :( I heard people say "OOOOOO" but I brushed myself off and headed for the finish tho' not as quickly or as fast as I was going too :(
I badly bruised my left hand (typing is fun let me tell you), scraped my knees and got a small cut on my face. Now we'll have to see if the race photos caught it My legs are pretty good today .. not too much stiffness thanks to the cold bath after the race. My boys pulled a 32:20 5K and are feeling pretty good. Last year they did a 37 min 5K.
Ah well ... it's done.
