Run
Comments: I had planned that I was going to run/walk at 4/1 intervals but I was feeling really good at the 4 minute mark and decided that I would just keep running because it would help me to clear the pack a bit. I managed to run pretty much the whole way except the 2 aid stations which I walked. I didn't drink much just a couple of mouthfuls at each station, enough to stop my mouth getting dry. In hindsight I could have run a bit harder I think but I am really happy with my time. Pacing is something that I need to work on as is judging how far I have to go so that I know when to start to push it a bit more (or I could just pay more attention and watch for the signs that I didn't see). What would you do differently?: train a bit more and push myself a bit more especially in the last 1k. Post race
Warm down: Got my medal at the finish line then ducked around the barriers and ran along the side track until I found K and H. They were about 1k back so I walked in with them. We walked through to the shuttle buses and caught the bus back to the train station where we caught the train back to Ks. Then we went out for Breakfast. Yummy pancakes. Event comments: good race that I will most likely do again in the future. Last updated: 2015-07-14 12:00 AM

got up at 5:30 in the frickin freezing and had a muffin and cup of tea then headed to K's to meet her and H. Andy took us to meet the train cause as with most Perth events we had free public transport for the day.
Walked from the train station to the race start which took us about 10 minutes. I dropped K andH at their start zone because they were walking and headed to my area.
Walked from the train station to the race start and then stood around for about 15 minutes. Thankfully it started to warm up a bit and the start area was down at river level where the wind wasn't so icey.
