I had gut ache and felt tired! I was hoping that all that will go away soon as I got going.
The gun went of, and more or less straight away it was myself and two others bunched up running in the lead, at times side by side taking up the whole road!
5K past before I knew it, and it was still myself and two others so close together, not letting anyone of us get away! 17 minutes was the split for the first 5K.
The whole race I was thinking negative. All that was going through my head was, these two do this all the time and are gunna leave me behind with a kilometer to go!
But then at around the 6K mark, one of the guys started to fall back slowly!!
This gave me a big boost. Then, to my surprise, the other guy I was running with started to back off a bit!
I couldn't believe it! I was in the lead on my own. I had dropped the other two!!
With my confidence soaring, I felt amazing and pushed slightley. Not too hard because with still about 2K's to go!
Running up the finish shoot, a big hill. I came first!! thats to wins in a row!
the second 5.5K split was 21minutes, but not because we slowed. But because it was very hilly!
