No I didn't win. Somehow I managed to pick up a medal. Consolation prize for missing my PB by 25 sec, perhaps?I was not pumped to race this at all. Pretty scared about how the old calf was going go and very mindful that I hadn't actually run in a week. The legs and lungs don't respond so well to that.
But in the end happy with the effort and that the calf pulled up very well. Could I have shaved 25 sec off? Probably not, the perceived effort was hard. With three km to go I had thoughts that I'd gone out too hard, but I put them to bed and instead enjoyed the cheers from dressing gowned folk cheering us on as we ran through the camping ground. Happy Australia Day indeed.
