Ben Donohoe Fun Run & Walk

got down to Lake Ginninderra College not long after 8am to pick up my bib - very professionally done...name & number were printed on the back of the bib with the number including age category & sex on the front (M00958F)...

I managed to find a shady spot to wait...had a quick chat to Nick B, Jim W and Geoff B before the start, with Geoff B ensuring we were just behind the elite athletes...

it was quite warm as predicted...I made a steady start with a goal of sub 30 in mind...grabbed a drink not long after halfway - took a small sip and poured the rest over myself!

this was the third time I'd run this event and the course was different each time (I ran it in 2006 & 2008 when it was 6k)...just scraped in under 30 by my watch...

start temp/humidity: 24.7/33%
start time: 9:31am
total distance: 6.32
total time: 29:59.40

had a fairly quiet day for the rest of it although I did attend the Chapman Primary School fete...
