Running race 27:41 [4] 8.0 km (3:28 / km) +80m 3:18 / km
shoes: Asics Hyperspeed 3
Was going to run the Ironknee, but it got too difficult for me to figure out how to get to Deep Cove, plus there would be no guarantee there would be space on the shuttle bus to Grouse.
Luckily the Shaughnessy 8k was on at the same time, which I have been meaning to run for years. Quite a hilly road course so no intentions of setting a PB. Goal was 28:00, ran in 27:41, so quite happy with that. 10s behind Dan's time last years, so that's a good sign. 6th place overall.
Found my paceman Skarsgaard right at the start. Stayed with him until 2k, then went ahead as I went faster on the downhills. He caught me at 6.5k going up the hill, no chance hanging on so let him drift 5 seconds ahead at the finish.
