After a looong and cold winter without races (last one a HM in November), today we had the first race of the year in West-Vlaanderen (North-West Belgium).
Due to the excitement, I almost didn't slept last night. It felt like an exam you've been preparing (training) for 4 months, and don't know which way it'll go Roll eyes
About the race itself (10 miles), I started a little bit too fast and had some troubles between km's 10-13, but hey, I did a PR (what usually happens when you run a distance for the first time Big grin ) on 1h13'

So, the first one is done, now looking for the next race on the 30th March.

The running season has finaaaally staaarted !!!! Smile
Targets 2008:

10 km sub 45 (DONE !! 30/03/08 43:39)
10 miles sub 1:10 (DONE !! 06/07/08 1:09:30)
HM sub 1:40 (DONE !! 19/04/08 1:37:31)
M sub 4:00 (DONE !! 20/06/08 3:37:20)

Nice work Rafa...go get 'em Big grin

Boy, you been putting in some serious kms - It looks to me, especially after you 10 mile time, that your goals this year are gonna might have to be revised down..
McMillan and a pinch of salt offers half marathon of 1:36 and a marathon of 3:24...


By the way, I'm on The Larzac Plateau near Millau in France and found today's temperature to be perfect Smile at 11°c; what was your weather like?

Which race are you running at the end of March...?

Hi Johnny,

Thanks !

Well, I just started running 15 months ago (after around 10 years of absolute nothingness), so I'd rather keep my targets humble. Next year perhaps I can push them a little bit more. Big grin

The weather here is .... belgian, what normally means gray, windy and somewhere between 5 & 15 degrees. Undecided Today it's around 10° C

Salutations

Rafa
