RUN FREE, RUN JOZI - a follow up...

The race has been run - race times and pics are on the Nike Running ZA page. Obviously I had hoped that I would surprise myself and run a fabulously fast PB, but to be honest, I'm just really inspired that I finished my first 10km race feeling so strong.

Unfortunately our timing chips were activated as the gun went off, rather than as we crossed the starting line. So my official race time was 1 hour 20, but it took me a good 10 minutes to reach the starting line, so I'm going to place myself at 1 hour 10! Just have to shave 10 minutes off that time! Best thing is that I was placed 4 840th (!!), which, out of 10 000 people in total, is pretty great - especially considering I started closer to the back of the pack than the front. *Proud*.

Cool thing was that there were loads of strong, fit-looking guys who were walking and looking knackered, as I sailed right past them... :-)
