Tarawera 21k, 10th Overall.
Felt pretty good about this despite it being a last minute entry and not taper/specific training. Field went out pretty quick round Blue lake, I ran 3:30's for first k or so and was in about 8th. Once I realised the field was significantly stronger than last year I back it off a bit and hoped some of them would fall of the pace. Felt good through the downhill in the open and tackled the hill much better than last year. Thought I would hit the flat with a bit more gas in the tank and might pick people off. Turns out I was pretty cooked when I got to the sulphur flats and pretty much phoned it in to the finish. Think a taper and a bit more investment in the race would have had me up the field a bit more. Good fun though, such a hyped up event, might dip my toes in the 50k next year.
