X Air and Half Marathon

Interesting weekend. My mate Brian and his mate came to stay with me this weekend. They're both involved in the event organising business so they managed to get free entry passes for themselves. Of course, they didn't think of little old me...

Unfortunately, the Saturday session was postponed to Sunday. Given the wind that was probably a wise idea. I fed them at some well known Wellington spots and left them to it.
Later that night we went into town for dinner and had reasonable bar food at the Hotel Bristol.

Ran a half marathon race today. The race itself went okay. I think I paced it fairly well for my level of fitness. My eating plan worked fine and I felt fine through the last half. (In previous races I've turned to pieces in the second half.)

Unfortunately, my time was 1:54:08 which rather reflects my level of fitness. Training over the holidays was obviously just too difficult. The extra kilo or so of fat above my normal race level probably didn't help either...

So now to train for the Wellington Marathon in June.
