Sri Chinmoy 10k Geelong

Drove down to Geelong 75ks south west of melbourne.
Course was supposed to be 10ks but when you run a split between the 2 and 3k mark of 3:15 you soon realise that the course is short.
Crossed the alleged 5k in 19:12 and then came through the finish line in 38:36.
As I was about to stop the polar spotted the ks at 9.75 so kept running through the finish to get the extra metres. Eventually came up as 39:34. A 20 second PB!
But officially the course was short. Damn. So won't be changing the PB time.

Well done SF, was there many in the race? Normally the Sri Chinmoy put on a good breaky, I hope the Geelong race did. So where there many in front of you? All the best for your marathon training, you might like to jump in the car one day and experience either the Dandenongs or Brimbank park, check your Melways, or the Tan on a saturday morning, lots of company.

Stu Mac, I think they had about 50 in the 5 & 10k. I'm guessing about ten ahead of me. Brekky was pancakes. Will do the tan time trial in March.
