Arse-k Me How The Burnie 10 Went.....

Apart from the fact that I'm having troubles walking and going from sitting to standing because me bum muscles are so incredibly sore the Burnie 10 was ace!

Anna and I jogged at the beginning so we didn't get trampled and then we set about a good walking pace for the rest of the morning. We had the tunes pumping on the pod which was awesome!

At about the 2.5km mark we saw the front runners appear on the other side of the highway and we cheered them on in hope that they would go faster and that that would inspire us to go faster!

We caught Kylie's eye as she ran past us in the other direction and after that we were left to our own devices. Just us and the road - oh and the crazy people in front of us that we just had to beat to the finish line.

With about 2 km to go I think Anna thought I was nuts. I just got the hyperactives and started dancing. I totally blame it on the great 80s-ness that was blasting from the pod. I started skipping and clapping and just generally mucking about. So much so that one of the SES guys asked me if I wanted to do the entire race again ... I think not... well not til next year at least.

We rounded in to the home stretch and everyone got a bit excited. Anna and I ran a bit and then in a very action hero moment she threw her headphones at me at said "go for it". And go for it I did. I sprinted as fast as my legs could take me to get across the line in 1.5hrs. It was so awesome! I had so much adrenalin pumping threw me I was jumping about like a bag of mexican beans. I think the list of people thinking I was nuts started to grow... eep.

So, I had set myself a time of 2 hours and had pounced it in at 1 and a half. YES!!

There's nothing like knowing that your sore muscles are actually from something and that it was a 10km of something!

:D
go me!
