On Thursday I found myself at Bushfield for another 'Chase Me' race. This includes a 3.2 mile circuit and uses handicapped times. Last time I ran this was February and I found it really hard. I set off first with 2 others, and I stupidly took off too fast as I knew people would be chasing me and I had such a phobia of finishing last. Obviously I finished last. All 3 of us came across the line together.
So on Thursday I knew I had to push myself. Off we went and I knew I was running fast but it felt good and I wanted to continue, I ended up running this on my own as I seperated from the people I started with, I found this quite difficult as I had nothing to keep my mind off of it. As you can see by mile 2 I slowed down but this speed is still fairly fast for me, so I can't really be annoyed. Only 5 people past me in this race and I came in 6th place, considering last time I was 10 minutes behind everyone else I was so bloody happy with myself. Overall I came 3rd from last, but I did manage to shave 4 minutes and 40 seconds off my last time. Lets hope next time I can beat it.
