Notes
PB! Great run - very happy with it. Splits - 1st 10km in 39:25, 2nd 10km in 37:44.
Would have been sub 82min if the course wasn't long - Simon, Paul, Bron and I all had over 21.35km - annoying. Anyway, felt good from the start, powered up Queens Road passing quite a few people. Felt very comfortable at 3:30 pace going down the other side, then heading out towards 12 Apostles was doing around 3:45 feeling good. Had to work hard going up the hill out of Camps Bay to Clifton, and then along the top of Clifton the legs were feeling a little pap. Really helped knowing the route inside out though - pushed it down into Bantry Bay and then pinned the ears back as much as I could on the home stretch along the promenade. Had a corn syrup at 12km which really helped with the middle section of the run - haven't had one during a run/race in ages - could feel the burst of energy. Was finished at the end, not sure I could have gone much faster. Happy!
PS - have now got faster times than Penrose and Watermeyer over 5km, 10km,15km, 21.1km and 30km. Just saying...
