On track for the race...

This weekend I made a step towards the big race coming up in less than 2 weeks. With the WC in sight Coach Pete recommended a 10k to fine-tune my run. My previous PR on the 10k was a 41:07 so there was some room for improvement as I am trying very hard to run a sub-40min 10k during the upcoming World Championship Triathlon. Coaches advice... start as fast as you can and keep going fast...

Result: 37:58 with a 15th spot overall (out of 300) and 5th in my age group (out of 60)

Our team did very well with all of us doing PR's and four of us in the first 25. Below a pic from the start where you can see coach Pete in 4th position (yellow cab) and me right behind him.
