ahr:164 max:174 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
Only score course I made it to - but was determined to do it even if it was with will and with the phone tethered to my watch in case a call came through.
Went hard early 12-15-10 and was feeling good. across to 26 and had to carry pram down stairs sideways - a bit uncomfortable - the across to 17 where I was stopped for a few minutes by the hospital security questioning me about who gave us permission to run there, how many people, how long for, where the controls are. did we know there are people on yard release today and to run fast if we see anyone approaching us... cool story your wasting my time!
Then 30, 9 decided to go 24 - might not have been a great move because meant next best option was 3 which was a long way for 10 points. I think would have been better getting the western side or getting in on time.
up to number 4 and then got 20,29, 18. Decided to get 5. probably a silly choice there. Then 27, 23 where I saw Andre.
Got 11 and realised I was way over time budget and went back down main road. 14, 13 (did a pram release and run past while it continued to roll - managed to punch and get it back before anything went wrong - andre saw it and thought I was pretty game. I was at 45 mins at this point!
Ran with andre to 21 then I went 7 and home. Very late - running with pram was hard but I pushed pretty blood hard so dont mind the bad result. Map was nice - nice to be close to home.
A few mystery bruises sprung up :(
