| Spoils of the day! |
Well! For sure, that was the toughest 5km I can recall! The old, and much kinder, course has been changed to make way for new development, buildings etc. and what was left for a new course were hills, hills and more hills! More drink stations than previous years...they must have known it was going to be a hard day for most!
The awards, M & F under 8 yoa and every year from there up to 16 (or was it 18?) yoa, dragged on forever, seasoned intermittently with unstoppable chat from Council member etc..etc. I thought I might reach my next age category before they finished!
However, I did manage 3rd place in 70+ age category which, at age 85, seemed to me like a damned good effort....even if I say so myself!!
My Results : Fisher's Ghost 5km, 2014 : Garmin distance 5.3km!
Time : 38:48
Avg. pace 7:17m/k
AHR 90%; MHR 100%....?
7:27; 6:53; 7:21; 7:37; 7:25
606 runners in 5km
149 of 308 female runners
1st place getter 70+....33:35
2nd ..............................37:28
3rd................................38:48..Me!
Will I be back next year? Doubt it!
