Amidst low expectations, on a cold and seriously blustery day, I still had a *lovely* race this morning. I went out too fast and paid for it later in the race, struggling through the entire second half, but I had Sam, Nancy and Mowgli on bikes, riding with me and cheering me on; Beth, Mia, Maddy and Kyle on the sidelines and Vero at the finish. Hello, best race ever.
With the final results in I finished 13th female overall and 4th in my age division. My time was slower than last year, but not nearly as poor as I'd expected. I finished in almost exactly the same spot (I think last year I finished 12th). I came from a much weaker running base than last year, but a much stronger CrossFit base. I think it's safe to say; Thank you CrossFit.
I'm happy with my performance overall. I'm glad I did the run and thankful I could.
So happy to hear that it went well (even though I knew it would!) Great running!
