Brisbane Premier Running event. http://bridgetobrisbaneday.com.au
The fastest 10km of my life was upon me at the Bridge to Brisbane day, a short stroll from home to the start at the Roma St Parklands, this was going to be fun.
Bridge to Brisbane is the must do event for the majority of people living in Brisbane with 30'000 participants over the 10km and 5km events, raising money for Courier Mail Children's fund along with many other charitable organisations.
The first 2km was primarily down hill including the onramp shoot onto hail st, trying to race down this is not advisable for you ankles, knees and hips. As we created the Go Between Bridge, I was stoked to still be running in the front group, with only 6km to go, as the pace increased through South Bank I was able to hold on until the slight rise over the Victoria Bridge. As I started to drift back and get picked up by a few runners and I really dug deep to keep on track to posting a good time.
Overall postion was not a major concern for me in the race, I just wanted to go fast then a few weeks ago in the Brisbane 10km event. The final dash into SouthBank, made me push my self to end coming in 90sec fast then my previous 10km and was this years PB for me over 10km. Even though I was stoked with the improvement I felt like to did not run smart and the 7km blow up was a sign that I need to work on my tactics a bit more and not just try and run as fast as I can for as long as I can.
Onwards and Upwards
