running race 1:24:25 [5] 21.25 km (3:58 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom Flys
Burnley half marathon. 11th Female, 1st oldie.
I only found out about this race on thursday, and decided for sure last night to do it, I haven't done any longer runs than about 10km (except WOC long) for ages so I was unsure of making the distance and so started slow ( also a last minute visit to a bush meant I started right at the back of the pack) But this is how I like to start anyway, slowly and then increasing pace and catching people.
Actually surprisingly felt really good nearly all the way except for the last km. The course was 5km loops with u turns around cones at the ends which were very annoying! Got a massive blister with about 5km to go, so didnt warm down as it was too sore- feeling abit stiff now........
first 10km 40.25
second 10km 39.28
