Labor Day 10km Run was a Labour
Ran this event, and arrived before 8:30 am for registering, so had plenty of time for stretching and a little warm up jog.
Started towards the back of the field, but on the recreational path.
Went up the first hill through the underpass fairly well, had a drink at the 2km point, and kept going.
Wind was distracting but was running with the acompaniment of a young lady, who kept pace almost the entire race, she put a gap on me up the hills but was slower down the hills which enabled me to catch her again.
Passed her before the 7km mark, but stopped for a Gel and drink at the 8km station, where she kept on going, but I caught her at the straight leading to the hospital hill, and held on despite her final sprint.
66 minutes was about all I could have hoped for two days after a 20km run (refer previous post).
Pancakes were provided together with fruit, and many stayed around for the awards presentations after the run.
Until Next Time.

Great run today Friar especially considering that nasty Canberra wind. Good that you stayed with that young lady!
