Here we are with our medals! I'm in the middle.. wearing the same gear as last year hahaha wish I'd thought about that earlier!
Last night I set my alarm and then had heaps of difficulty getting to sleep, partly because George was keen as for a chat when I was trying to sleep (which is weird; normally it's the other way around!), and partly because I was full of adrenalin.
Come 6 - 7 am, on the other hand, I was not keen to get out of bed. I woke up heaps because I didn't want to miss my alarm. We had to be there at 7 to register, so I set it for 6.10. I woke up to a txt from Ella saying "Do you want a ride there?" and I thought, No, George is taking me. I'll just sleep till my alarm goes off then txt her back. But then, out loud I said "WHAT THE F *** DID THAT SAY 6.53?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
My alarm hadn't gone off.
So George and I jumped out of bed, threw some clothes on and my amazing boyfriend drove me down so that I could register, and then drove me back to get my gear and have breakfast. He is fantastic.
The run went really well. When there are that many people running around you, there's heaps more to distract you from feeling tired or out of breath than when you run alone. I felt fine the whole way - in fact I wish I'd pushed myself harder! My time was roughly 16 minutes which is pretty good. George works as a sports journalist here, and he got given the results before they get put up on the website! We can 51st out of 140 :) Yay!
Then we all went and had a well-earned beer :) It was such a beautiful day! I saw all my best friends, who all wished me luck. The only thing that would make my weekend better would be if I'd seen George for longer than a panicked 20 minutes haha... and perhaps if I hadn't eaten so many cake pops but that is for tomorrow!
