Out at 5.45am with Macca and Ben. It was a steamy night and I'd had a few beers after the ferry with Charlie D and some more at home watching Pride & Prejudice so wasn't feeling the sharpest first thing. We wandered around and about down to Shelly and up to Curl Curl. Thought I may be able to cruise around for the win but saw Sam Walker on the start line so knew that wouldn't happen.
Ran first km with Sam but he then started to pull ahead and I wasn't mentally ready for a hard run so ran it as a tempo in 17:07. Macca, Ben and I had a bit of a chat with the Parkrunners after, trying to extricate ourselves from a bloke running 21mins for 5km telling us we should be running in minimal heel drop On shoes. Also had a chat to the lovely Carla (Quentin's other half) who expressed surprise that Quentin should be awarded Male Performance of the Year without consulting her. She has a sense of humour that girl.
Did a few more km afterwards to bring it up to 26km for the morning in 1:56:17 (4:28's). Ended perfectly by jumping into the ocean at Queenscliff with Macca to ease the legs.
