Aus day Race at Moore Park - 4k - 13.59

Got out to Moore Park just as the 8k started. met up with a swag of coolrunners and Striders and cheered the 8k runners on. Weather was overcast and humid but not too hot.

Haven't had a race since September so wasn't sure how I would go today.
Did a warm-up run with some stretches and strides for about 15 mins. Course was mainly flat and fast. Lined up at the start with everyone ready to go the otherway.Got that sorted out and a nice spot at the front as well.
Kids took off at a million miles an hour but by the 1k mark I had already passed a few. Got into a nice rhythm and passed 2k in 6.50, got into a good duel with a few kids from Longarms squad, didn't see the 3k mark and finished in 13.59. Very happy with the effort - means the training is going to plan and finished 1st in my age group ( o/40).

Had a pleasant brunch afterwards at Fox studios with the coolrunning gang .

My mate Macca finished 3rd in the 8k in 26.08 - top effort mate. Got out at 5pm this arvo with Macca and Tim for an easy 11k trot around the Bay for a total of 18k for the day.
