Under promise and under deliver. Done on both fronts.
Arrived very early 6:20am and did a bit of a warmup with 26 miles up to the roundabout and back. It this stage I already wasn't feeling confident about the race.
Started out really well and was at the 2k mark in 7:30, so looking good.
Well after that it was all mud. Found it very hard to get any rythym and felt like I was struggling just to run in any decent form. I proceeded to then go through every k in 4minute pace and eventually get to the 9k mark at 35:40.
Managed to crank out a 3:41 last k. Well that one is downhill partially to finish in 39:21.
Good points. Yes I do have some, besides missing the PB by 10 seconds.
Fastest 10k in 14 months.
An improvement of 1:14 over 10k since Homebush in July.
A course PB by 1:36 from May last year.
2nd Fastest 10k ever for me.
I know I can run better than this, just not today.
Much to work on before the year is out. I am as keen as mustard to knock off the 5 and 10k PB's this year. Plus knock the Half PB down to sub 84.
Thanks for everyone's support in the last month, much appreciated.

Sorry you had a bad day of the office mate. Still as you said, your on the improve and you can't ask for much more. :)
Hey flake - sounds like a rough day to cap off a rough week. take it easy on yourself buddy. you will be there before you know it :) still - a pretty darn good run in my books!
What's the rush Flake - it was a good solid effort and only seconds off your p.b. Just keep doing the work and the times will take care of themselves. Well done !
You mentioned the positives. On the day it just didn't happen, that's all. Keep building the training and the PBs will come.
Great effort today and so close to your PB which is great. The old Flakey is back.
Congrats Flakey! 2nd fastest 10k ever - you can't whinge about that. Well, you can whinge about it but no-one will listen ;-)
