Dan's first question at the start "Do you want me to run this with you?". Pretty much "I am going to run this sucker and you will slow me down!" Dan came in at 27:26. Here I am looking fresh and confident.
I said no but I managed to keep up with him til the first hill and then he was gone. I was being passed by "Old Geezers, Men/Women pushing strollers, 8 yr olds etc etc etc. Maybe I was just tired.
My heart rate averaged 166 bpm (but got way up there to 180) and average pace of 7:38 so I 
was slower. Took 2 - 30 second walk breaks during the run. Dan placed at 126 and I placed at 262 out of a field probably of 500 (not sure.)

At the end I was pretty wiped. Here is the after picture. I do have the "big finish" picture but it is still on Kathy Good's camera. This shot is at 4.5 Km and I have just been passed by a number of girls.
When done though, I did get to have a massage. Very nice touch even though I had to wait 20 minutes for it! That is Aaron giving the massive calf massage and Mark (the G/L) standing beside me getting in the picture. I did not let Mark touch me!
Note the gadget on my wrist. I really like this thing! I am not modelling it however. It was just the way my hand was on the massage table. Speaking of the massage table, I of course, am sweating buckets. The massage table was soaked.Despite Body Glide and expensive running shorts I am still chafed on the inside of the thighs. I guess I will need to lose weight on the thighs.
Tomorrow we will do intervals. Not looking forward to it
