Central Coast Half Dec 5th

Fantastic flat course. Mark it in the diary, it is only $20.00 with certificate and medal for the half.A few up and down wooden bridges as you go out along the bay at the entrance, along bike and walking tracks mostly.
Got to the 3k in 12:10. Quicker time than I wanted at that stage but I didn't even feel that. Hit the 11k mark just after the turnaround in 47:00. I didn't see the 10k mark on the grass but must have been there somewhere.Caught up to Blue Dog about the 14k mark, must have been the friday night drinks catching up with him. He is defenitely quicker than me over half. Look out for Blue Dog at SMC in a couple of weeks, might want to exorcise some demons.
Caught up to a backward running Vat_man at about the 15k I think, looking for Mister G.Ran with Vat_Man for about 4ks, couldn't keep up the pace to run with him to the end.And Vat_man finished under 90mins. Bugger!
Finished in 91:09. New PB yee hah! Old was 95:36.Thanks Vat_Man for the lift in the last quarter.Did manage a 44minute 10k on the way back.
Ran 4mins 19 seconds on average. Training has been at 4mins 30 seconds.

Next race is at SMC probably the 10k. Last chance for a 10k PB this year.
And I want the under 40mins bad....
