Run the Maine 10k.

This was the first Oz race that I did last year but knew that I was nowhere near as trained or fit so was never going to get near last years time of 55m.

This year work sponsored the race so there were a number of colleagues running ranging from the Sales Director ironman 33min to the MD 1hr+

I was running 'shotgun to the general' with the General being the MD surveying the field from the rear - as the pre race work blurb advertised!

Very little training and I struggled all the way round, I was only kept going by the fact that I had promised to run with Stu (MD) and he was determined to beat me (previous races this year has him eating my dust). We finished together with Stu's kids running us in.

Big breakfast enjoyed by the gang, some good results, with 2 in the top 10 finishers in their gender. Not to take away their glory but the field was only 94 runners.

Bit of a training wake up me thinks!!
