Tired and Contented
It might have taken a lot longer then I'd hoped, but I completed the 25km Bush capital Marathon Event today after a 9:00 am start, with so many others, I think probably second last in the 25km event. 3:18:10, now that was slow, but the plan was to start slow, and keep on going, since my form over the distance was a big unknown less than 3 weeks previously.
Now it looks like the Vets Half Marathon is a possibility.
The drink stations were welcome at 5.5km, 11km, 16 km, 20km, and a drink at the finish after changing shirts and putting on the track suit. Jubes at the 20km station were also welcome (had 2) and at the 16km (had 1).
Thanks to the drink station people being out there for such a long time, and being so cheerful.
Also thanks to Jaggad for the Running singlet after the event. It was provided to all finishers.
Thanks for the mug which will be well used in the weeks to come, probably drink morning coffee from it.
Now for the Vets Mt Taylor handicap tomorrow. :-)
Until Next Time

Yes, it was a brilliant day. John's on a winner with that one.
My sister brought Harry last weekend and had it finished by 3am Sunday!
The time you took is irrelevant Doug. The important thing is that you were out there, committed, and giving it a go. It was great to see you on a beautiful morning for running.
