Con and I ran the Varsity Kudus 15km race this morning. Remembering that I have only done a max of 6km at a time over the last 6 months or so a 15km race was a bit daugnting - but if I want to do a 42km race on the 30th at least it showed me what I was capable of.
After about 9kms I could no longer keep up with Con - my legs just didnot want to run up the hills anymore. But on a nice long downhill I caught him up again when he started to complain about a sore ankle he has been having for the last year or two.
We ran together to the end of the race. The last long uphill seemed to last for ever but we managed. We finished together in a time of about 1:36 - which achieved my goal of running a little slower than 6mins per km.
