 | Running race (Sheffield Half Marathon) 1:13:08 [5] 13.1 mi (5:34 / mi) vdot: 64.7 | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom Vomero +2 |
| Still had the sore throat, but decided to run anyway and although I could tell it was there at first, I soon forgot about it. Main problem was that I forgot about the tram and decided to drive and the traffic was shocking so I didn't get to do a warm-up. Oh well, happy to just rock up and run 73 and get 10th (over 5000 ran). Never saw any mile markers so pacing and splits went out of the window. Got in a good tussle with a pack and kept shifting from 7th-14th during the race. And the support was great - kept seeing people I knew by the side of the road. Won't claim points for them though. Legs seized up at the end and I dropped 3 places. Didn't realise how far round the stadium the course went, so I thought I was on for sub-70, so a bit disappointed at the end. Reckon it would be doable if I decided I wanted to devote myself to road racing (I don't, this was my first). In the end, happy, and relieved to beat Sprotty (74.48) who ran a blinder. Grace was on fire - I hadn't even started looking for her when I noticed that she'd already finished - oops! She ran 87.09. We did a high-5 as we passed each other on Eccy Road. |
