Had the 40min pacing job today, trying to save myself for Launceston next week. Turn up on the start line to find Enda looking exuberant and all the star runners missing. It can't be I'm thinking. Last Striders 10km he turned up for was in November when he took out the win when all the big guns were again AWOL. Fats and Quentin were there but Fats had had a cold all week and was doubtful and I'd been drinking litre glasses of Lowenbrau in the Bavarian Bier Cafe last night with Quentin which left me feeling dodgy this morning so Q couldn't have felt much better.
Anyway, fair play to Enda. He did all the work dragging Q and Tongey around for 8km but Q always buries himself in races and came out with the win over the final 1.5km.
I had a nice time pacing 40mins. Plenty of people around, including Renee and Elle, to encourage and the group all came through under 40mins with a strong final km. Coffee and breakfast with Timmy and Bec after for a good morning.

Thanks again to Bec for babysitting - it's very rare for us to be able to do the same race (even one in which one of us is feeling dodgy).
