Down to Dapto this morning for the Kembla Joggers Half Marathon. The PB of 87:16 was at this race last year. The plan today was to run under 90 minutes which would be great after the SMH 93mins.
The car beeped at 2 degrees as I drove past the Bulli turnoff but had gone back up to 7 degrees when I arrived at the start. My start was a bit too fast going through 2k in 8:10 which killed me later when we got to the first hill. I went through the 10k in 42:30. I managed to take about 3 runners on the run home from this point and finished in 88:48.
The time was a minute and a half outside the PB but relating it back to SMH Half last month I am 4 and a half minutes faster for the half on a course just as hard. So I'm very happy.
The male winner was Stephen Brown who ran 67:39. Breaking a 16 year old course record by 5 minutes. He is only 21 and is going to the World Mountain Running champs in August.

Great run Flake. You are getting very close to your pre SF form. You have certainly come back with a bang. You will be giving those PBs a shake very soon.
Yeah that was a great result mate. Great to see that your patience and hard work has paid off. See you Saturday hopefully. :)
Gees Flakey, that's fantastic!!!! Wow, you are almost back to peak fitness. That old PB won't last for too long at this rate.
Its very heartening to know that somebody can come back from injury so strongly. You give me hope!
