That elusive 60 minute barrier is ....

still eluding me :)

Ah well ... today I got closer ... doing 10km in 62:30 odd.

I did the regular Brisbane RoadRunners 10km run this morning - and came in at somewhere in the 62 minute range.

My splits show I was on pace (or near it) for most of the race ... but dropped off the pace in the 5-6, 6-7 and 7-8km sections.

That's the sections where the drinks tables were situated ... and I obviously spent too much time slowing down to a walk for the drinks.

I'll try taking my own drinks next week, and see if that helps ...

Today's was an interesting run. It was the club's 25th anniversary, and there were a lot more runners than normal (perhaps a hundred or so all up) ... which was great, as it
provided a real 'race' feel.

I also had my nephew, Corey, with me ... he was running his first 5km - and came in with a smokin' time in the low 30s ... around 31-and-change, he thinks - which is excellent.

So ... another run under the belt.

Coming up this week? The plan is for a 3k tomorrow, a 6k on wednesday, an 8k on friday afternoon (see the 'evil temptress ferry' below), and then a 10k handicap race next sunday
- that could be an interesting experience :)
