In Cessnock for Al and Jans 50th. Got out at 6.30 and enjoyed a chilly 6k jog to the local Parkrun start and then a warm up at the course.
It's a cross country course and quite flat. This was only its fourth running.
It's quite a complicated course. I followed the two quick boys who ran sub 18.
I felt comfortable the whole way and tried to follow the advice I heard through the week to push in the middle of the race. It seemed to work because I came in in 18.56 in third.
That's the first time under 19mins since the broken pelvis. More room for improvement yet.
Felt well enough to jog back to the motel. About 20k all up.
