SMH Half Marathon

Posted by Trent in Race, Running on May 16, 2010

A great day and great running. Access to the start line from in front to join the faster seeded runners was lost due to toilet queues. This meant starting with the 5+ min/km runners.

Much valuable time was lost in the first 5km to a barrage of slower runners and trying to get ahead. The wall of people began to dissipate around the Hyatt which saw the return to 3’30” / km.

The ability to keep track of pace was lost when the radio field from the timing mat on Art Gallery Rd caused the foot pod to unpair from my t3c.

Only determination and the desire not to be overtaken pushed me through lap 2. A second round of the Argyle Cut and Hunter St definitely took a toll on pace.

Hopes of a sub 80 minute time were lost as a tight left hamstring and right hip flared up right from the start. But I was there to run, and no amount of pain was going to stop me… And it was worth it for the breakfast!
