shoes: Wave Rider 17 Pink 2
3rd Harrier's Champs Race for the year.
Fairly flat course, concrete path the whole way, starting at the Back Beach surf club, 3km south, turn around, back to start, 3km north, and return.
Started at a pace that felt fairly conservative and got into a rhythm quickly. Struggled a bit in the last 2.5km heading home into the breeze.
Happily for me, Ben was still feeling a little leg weary from his 2:56 marathon 3 weeks ago, so even with my more conservative start than normal, I was pulling away steadily from the start and din't have to bury myself in the second half.
Other people's GPSs suggested 11.97km. Dunno where the difference was.
