My running streak day 259

Posted by speedygeoff on Sunday, May 26, 2019 with
The long anticipated YMCA Half Marathon was held today. I eased into it, gradually increasing effort through the race, and ended up with ~1:52.13 [Edit: Chip time 1:51.59] which was good enough for an M70 win. I am certain that I have not won my age group in the Canberra Half Marathon before and this was number 29 I have completed (of 50 that have been held). I only felt a bit tired in the last 2k, surprising in that I have done no real distance training. The slow start would have helped. No timed warm-up; 21k-ish for the day.

Nearing the end.
