First official race completed, and may i say what an experiance.
Loads of tips coming my way, and what did i do .... not get any of them right. Ate a good meal on saturday night and it didnt stay down i was so nervous. Did not sleep well at all Saturday night. Then was sick twice more Sunday morning before the race -_- so needless to say i was not feeling my strongest for the race ... DAMMIT!!!
Sunday morning was up and ready early bells and on my way to chickens house. We waited for Mandz who was running with us, and off we went to the start at the sports club. A little stressful as we just made it there on time for 7am start.
Durning the run i heard screaming of my name ... it was Nat my trainer and her housemate, i heard my name but thought it was for anouther Natalie being yelled for, so just kept my head down and kept running didnt even look up at them. After 3kms i told Chicken and Mandz to run on ahead of me as they where feeling good and running strong, me i was feeling a little weak. Nat saw me once more during the race and screamed out "GO LITTLE ONE' haha, that time i saw her and waved. Ran the rest of the race on my own, but kept with a group of very nice people, kept passing each other and every time they passed me they yelled "comeon you can do it", and when id pass them id chirp back "my turn to say comeon speed it up". So Nat finished way before me and then came back to like 500m before the end waited for me and ran the last little bit in with me, shes such a sweetie, and as we turned into the field of the sports club to the finish her room mate was standing there jumping up and down and screaming well done for me :). After i finsihed i collected my Tee (Very happy i got a tee) a bar one choc and went to go find Chicken and Mandz who finished ahead of me. WELL DONE TO THEM ALL! Then the 3 of us then went back to Nat and her housemate, along the way i spotted Dale who works with me so went over for a hug, well done and chitty chat. Nat was then kind enough to stretch us all out.
After the run we went back to Chicken's house to collect cars, me and Mandz then went for brekkie at Oscars as a reward ahahaha!
All in all a very pleasing day :)
SO here's my stats ...
Distance 10km Time 1h19min20s on Sunday 1st July 2012 which is a 5min56s improvement on my time.
I know i could have done better if i was feeling stronger so here's to beating that and the next race.
Cheers for now.
Nat
