I took up running this year as form of keeping fit when not riding. Having never run the distance before and having the flu for the last 2 weeks I am pretty stoked with my 1 hour 45 minute time for the Half.

Who else did this race today and how did you do?

I didn't, because I haven't run for a couple of years now with stuffed ankle, so I'm very jealous of those who got out today. The harbour capital half was a good event, one of my favourites.

1:45 is pretty decent for only a year of running.

Well done Pete, you becoming a filthy Multisporter I hear?. Sorry I didnt see you coming, its like playing Wheres Wally trying to find people in the bunches.

BLB1 (Angry Wife) was 1:56 and was stoked to go under 2 hours.
Tiger Bushlove Sandbagged himself a 1:24, he was pretty pleased.

My wife did the 10km after originally planning on the half - a nasty flu then chest infection a few weeks back meant the 21km was out of the picture. Her first running race ever, to go with her first MTB race 2 weeks ago!

1:56 for me. Bloody cold before the start and also alking back down the concourse afterwards but during the run it was good conditions. The turnaround seemed a long way up the Miramar peninsula.

AWESOME!!

Had a knee injury for the past few months so haven't been able to do much run training at all, so decided to just go out and do the distance for fun (banking on my fitness from swimming/biking). This gradually evolved into deciding to run in costume. I was well on track for a sub 1:30 until my legs packed it in at about the 12km mark. So when all was said and done, pretty happy with a 1hr 35 flat with no training and dressed as an old woman.

Just under 2:19 for the half for me. I'm not a runner at all and this was my first half-marathon which I did on 4 training runs over the last 2 months. I actually found it pretty easy... should try and go faster next time.

1.35 for me and apparently I looked like I wasn't pushing it that hard ...

I shall put on my, good greif, I'm shattered face instead of a smile next time!
