Road Running 2:41:09 [3] 33.02 km (4:53 / km) +177m 4:45 / km
shoes: Hoka Red
Kicked things off with a 10k on local Nairn roads prior to the Nairn Half. Was looking for somewhere around 50 mins for that. Right on the nail.
Wasn't running the race competitively or at least that wasn't the purpose - just wanting the distance - but I'm too competitive to ignore the fact that it was a race after all. Got into the desired pace from the beginning and just stuck in there. Nice breeze on the back going out the way but it turned into a raging headwind from half distance. Was reeling folk in especially from that point and there weren't really enough people to get much shelter for long. Pleased to feel pretty strong throughout although got out sprinted in the games field as we had to dodge the marching pipe band.
Maybe 1st v60 but who knows...Later: 2nd v60 actually behind Graeme Laing...he of yesteryear marathon fame...only beat me by 10 mins :-( (actually sandwiched between two marathon has been super superstars as I beat ColinY)
Gentle warm down for a km or so along the beach. Overall a nice confidence boost.
Nice paddle in the Moray Firth after.
