Not the quickest time this year but a very satisfying run.
How you say? It was the strong second half that was very satisfying.
It was a very steady first half and a hard push to maintain the pace in the second half as the long steady hills on the second lap take their toll. I made to half way in about 1.49 which was about on target.
I ran strongly in the second half for about 1.51 split. I was counted past halfway in 48th position and finished in 34th. I was pleased with the strong second half - not for speed but the strength up the hills. I managed the hills very well and passed most of the runners on the up hills and once on the top was able to push on hard.
I guess sometimes it is not the time that is important or satisfying but how you run it and feel you have run it.

Good solid effort Ray.
Nice observation - how you feel can be (often should be) more important than time.
Thanks for your comment. The 10k Friday night race series sounds like a lot of fun. Every city should have that!
Good run Ray.

That's good Ray. So true about how one feels during a race often being more important than the time.
I'll echo those sentiment Eagle. Sounds like a good run to me.
