Notes

Early start at 6am, but that was ok as I woke early and weather was nice and cool. Ran ok for the first 10km, it felt quick but wasn't really. 10km time was 41mins 51secs. I thought I could get under 90mins at that point but it got harder around 12-13km and I was slowing coming out of the tunnel. Next few kilometers were up and down and into a strong headwind, this was slowing me down and it was getting hard by 17km. Reached 16km in 68mins flat and was finding it harder and windy by then.

A little sprint finish got me up a couple of places as I lost a few places in the last 2-3km. Time wasn't that good, but a fair reflection of my fitness. Around the same time as 2006 and 2007 but this year was a harder course with the wind. Seems I am fit enough for an ok 10km, but not a HM.
