Round the Bays 09

Well it was another epic Wellington days for the Round the Bays run today. Thousands of Wellingtonians packed the start line at Frank Kitts for the 7km dash around the bays. I wasn't quite keen enough to do the 1/2 marathon - we'll see what next year brings!

It was great to have a crew from work all keen to enter this year. I completed the race in under 32 minutes - we'll get the official times out of the paper tomorrow. I paced myself pretty well and went the same speed the whole way with a short sprint at the end in the usual Forrest Gump fashion. I'm pretty pleased at how I went - I didn't feel exhausted at all the whole race other than the dash at the end. It was really hot!

Its was a cool event and good to see so many people right on the pace - there is plenty of fit people in Wellington that is for sure!
