How the Weston Creek Half went:
(a) age group winners included Helen, Ruth, Maria and Richard; outstanding runs. Four golden geese! I missed out by a narrow margin (sob!).
(b) speedy coach beat the speedy gaggle (Amanda, Katie and Ken). But they ran darn well too.
(c) speedy coach achieved stated aim of breaking 90. And is sore. Sciatica hit me in the first km and only determination prevailed from there. But I am ecstatic with my final time, about 89:34. A first 5k of 20:20 and 10k of 41:40 is good too. But darn those hills and a sore bum. Next the marathon, and as a result of today's experience I will only set out to run about 3:20 or 3:30, as originally planned.
(d) My Weston Creek progress
M40 pb 1990 1:11.38 (1st), and a few other runs in the early days.
M45 did not run, lost form
M50 12/03/2000 1:40.06
M55 13/03/2005 1:39.12
M55 12/03/2006 1:33.40
M55 11/03/2007 1:29.34
(e) "sob" has two meanings.
