I am truly amazed at doing a PB of 2:53:50 which is 13 minutes better than my previous best time. I did the first 5km in 40 mins and the 10kms in 80 mins.
I had no shin splints problem as Denise dropped me off at Strathallan Street and I did a 10 minute walk to warm up. Craig and I stated off together in a field of 556 walkers. We were jammed in so it took quite a while to hit an open space.
As per normal my feet got hot at Port Chalmers and the blisters started. When I finished I felt exhausted but thrilled to do my last half marathon as a PB. It was great the way Cavershan club members shouted encouragement as I walked the course.
