Ran this on spur of the moment. Started in middle of the pack and followed a Conga line to Roseville bridge. Enjoyed chatting to Mike to the bridge. Happy to cruise along because the ground was treacherous after all the rain. Mud mud mud. Was able to sprint over the bridge but then had to work my way past dozens of runners on the single file track. Very worried I would trip or slip.
Once we crested the last hill and were on the fire trail I gave it everthing and really enjoyed it. Spent the last k running behind the second female who was making some spectacular jumps from rock to rock. She tired at the last corner but I refused to overtake because she had put in such a gutsy effort, so I gave her a gentle push in the back and said get going, and she did, sprinting to the line.
I ran back to find Mike and then Stef who came in looking a bit worse for wear after staying up all night watching the tennis.
Mike and I ran back to the car along the road at a leisurely pace.
My time was 80 minutes of thereabouts for the 15k.
