Races - last 2 months

January and February is very quiet for races (which in some ways is a relief) but I still managed to fit in quite a few.

Coburg Fun Run January 20th
6km 28:17
It was very rainy and so the course was changed to a 4km loop course. It is suspected that the course was actually longer than 6km.
I came first in the females.

Flemington River Run February 3rd
8km 36:41
I had three goals for this race: to get a PB, to finish in the top 10 women, and to win my age group.
I didn't get a PB, but I was the 7th female and I won my age group.
My splits were:
Splits:
1km 4.14
2km 8.25 (4.11)
3km 13.03 (4.38)
4km 18.04 (5.01)
5km 23.05 (5.01)
6km 27.24 (4.19)
7km 32.03 (4.39)
8km 36.41 (4.38)
So they were extremely inconsistent. If I hadn't gone out too fast I might have had a chance for a PB.
I was running on my own most of the way, although there were plenty of non-racers running along the path. When I finished I was given a spot prize voucher, probably because I was the only one to come in for about 20 seconds. My spot prize was a skincare and footcare pack. Not as nice as some Brooks shoes but better than nothing.

Coburg Fun Run February 17th
6km 26:27 - PB!
It was quite a warm morning so it was a hard run. We went back to the usual 6km route. I was the first female again. The trophy was a soccer trophy - random!

Coburg Fun Run March 16th
6km 26:47
I was really itching to get out and race because my training is looking very good and I wanted to go under 26 minutes. Unfortunately the weather was very hot, about 25 degrees or more. It was a hard run again. I was on track for a massive PB but the last 3 minutes or so were extremely tough and I really let it go. Not a bad time considering and there's always next time. I was the first female again.

Races coming up over the next month or so:

Richmond/Malvern Challenge (Saturday 5th April)
