New Course Record at Boxing Day 4 Mile
December 28th, 2009 by Will
Hey guys.
I had a wicked race the other day at the 4 mile race. Â Just to get it straight I didn’t eat Pasta Carbonara for Xmas dinner, I did have the full turkey and lots of Chocolate:)
I do it every year. Last year I ran 19:30, but this year I wanted to go faster. Â If I broke 19mins I was happy, that’s 4:45 miles (30min 10k pace) The course record is set at 18:38 on the trophy which I thought was awesome…Grenville Tuck ran that from 1974! He also went on to run 28:30 10k, so to get near that was good going!
I was stoked to come in at 18:32. The course wasn’t 4 miles it was 6.38k’s. Â So just short but I was really happy with it. Â It was a nice reward for hard work so far this year. Â The course is still the same so doesn’t really matter.
People question why I took this race seriously. Â I think its a great little marker for myself each year. Â If I can go 1min faster then 2008…that’s good going! It also works off the turkey and also makes sure I don’t let myself go too much at Xmas!
New Years Eve 10k coming up…I scouted the course the other day. Â It was windy as hell but I think I can get a clean Sub 30min as long as some pace makes me!
I’m looking at this a lot this year!
