Omi 10km Road Race

Well I just about did it... A very poorly timed Friday night drinking session with some teachers from school could have done a lot more damage but fortunately my bid for a sub 50 minute 10km was successful and I came in with an official time of 48'41 (although my watch said 48'36 - but what's 5 seconds eh?). Seriously hot (27-28C) and seriously humid meant that I was not a particularly happy bunny most of the way around, but I finished which is the important thing.

And talking about my watch, the clever little chap kept my pace pretty well and it was pretty close with the km markers finding the course to be around 10.08km, less than 1% out and it would have measured all those extra meters going around people etc. The map below is using the data from the run. The track on the left hand side is the race - it was 5km out then 5km back on the same route. I kept the run on the right to give you guys a better idea of Itoigawa. It starts and ends at my apartment.

Anyway... My legs hurt and I want to sleep so I will catch you later.
