Notes
Official time: 5km=22:55 10km=47:56
Well, I was confident up until the day of the race. Was still recovering a little bit from a hangover 3 nights before and my stomach wasn't great.
Started off a bit too fast but kept it going up to 2km and then started slowing. Made it to 5km in PB time (amazing!) but felt really tough, just tried to hang in there. Caught up to Anne at 6km (she started 10mins in front of me). When I got to 7km, I realised that not only was I going to beat 50minutes (which was the original goal) but that there was a chance of breaking 48! Tried my best to push but the times were not quick enough, gave it all for the last km and just crept in under 48! Yay!
