Striders Internal Half Sunday Nov 7th

Struggled out of bed and got to Lane Cove late. Started with the last group of two who quickly left me behind.
Felt bad the whole first lap. I glanced at my watch 43mins for 10.55k.
It started pouring with rain but no wind.
When I finally made it up to Ryde Road the rain eased off and I felt that I had a wet sail and flew down the hill.
It was a strain but I kept saying "Form" and "Function" with each step and focussed on good foot strike and push off.
Its a great motivator catching people in a handicap race.
Finally I came over the line but I was so focused that I couldn't read my watch. So I don't know what time I finally ran.
After chatting to Mike, Stef and others I bumped into the "other" Stef and we ran another 10k along the LC course.
So 31k all up.
Then met up with Jan and Al at the Hunter Hill book fair and La Village cafe. Very pleasant start to the day.
