Ray Boyd ...So Proud of you for Gutsing it out mate!<br />Ray Boyd said to me at the start of the race that it was going to be really tough (which I new after running the 10km there x 4)<br />I love the way you didn't let the idea of the tough course vary your goals. <br />You are a tough little bastard aren't you!<br />Rest now mate and let your knee get better - so you can run 2.50 in the Gold Coast.<br />ps Trust me from experience, let it heal, there is still plenty of time for hard training......Once it has healed.<br />Well Done Bro!nick wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831505224333284211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382714127608723752.post-91046379460136260122009-10-20T09:01:17.500+08:002009-10-20T09:01:17.500+08:00I'm with Clown - well done for gutsing it out ...I'm with Clown - well done for gutsing it out and finishing.<br /><br />I never could quite work out why you wanted to run Rottnest in the first place..! Sounds like the place for breezy recovery runs (the intervals I've done there have always felt like wind sprints).<br /><br />I agree with your comments at the end too; it's time to target a race known for being quick and Gold Coast is definitely that race.Simon Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17186098366143276792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382714127608723752.post-41678112928696622009-10-20T07:59:44.856+08:002009-10-20T07:59:44.856+08:00Tough race BM - congrats on toughing it out.
For ...Tough race BM - congrats on toughing it out.<br /><br />For mine, you did the right thing. If it were another time of year and there was another target Marathon a month or two away you may have considered not running, but theres nothing for six months realistically, so you had to go for it.<br /><br />Similarly with pacing, you wouldn't have been happy going out more conservatively (apart from the first km) and the ITB would have got you anyway.<br /><br />The big PB will come next year.Epihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477381563587498137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382714127608723752.post-80737739317353796332009-10-20T07:05:32.077+08:002009-10-20T07:05:32.077+08:00Well done on gutsing it out and finishing, you can...Well done on gutsing it out and finishing, you can now say you've finished 5th in a Marathon.<br /><br />Hope the knee sorts it outself out quickly, enjoy the rest and hopefully will see you on the track soon.Clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576984522794206674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382714127608723752.post-44579785082448070932009-10-20T01:32:54.819+08:002009-10-20T01:32:54.819+08:00Well done!
