Siemens 10K 2009

Once again, this race has proven to be a lucky charm for me. It was my first attempt at a 10k maybe 4 years ago..(or maybe it was 5)- that first 10k - i set 59mins. Anyway...i set a PR of 45 mins this year. I think i can get better than that.

I felt very heavy early in the race, and was stuck behind a whole bunch of runners at the start...I probably did 4:15 or so for the first 4k , but that put a dent in my heart rate so had to cut back on the power to stabilize myself.

The last 3 km also overlapped the "dream run" - a 3km run for beginners. So that made it hard as well avoiding families with prams and little old ladies walking 4 or 5 abreast. - ah well...at least they are out there!!

Have been slacking since then. - time toget back on the schedule...2mths to the 70.3.

Tomorrow is bike ride day ...it will be the orang asli route- first time for me.
