2 Oceans Half Marathon.
Happy to finally break 2hrs for a 21km. PB by 11 mins.
Started quite conservatively. Caught the sub 2hr bus at 7km and sat behind it until the top of Southern Cross Drive. Was feeling quite strong at the top so pushed on. Managed to run some decent splits from 14km onwards. And I didn't feel like death at the end which is always a winner! Few tweaks from the ankle and calf but they held up well.
Started in D batch which started 10 mins after A,B and C. We got moving quite quickly. Hit the back of C at about 4km but it wasn't too bad.
Enjoyed the Powerade at water tables (not a huge coke fan in races).

Around the Common. Testing out the ankle. It's been fine walking around yesterday / today so thought I'd give it a try (and I'm going crazy not running). It felt fine taking it easy but a bit sore when I upped the pace. Hmmm, not ideal but hopefully it'll be fine with a bit more rest.
