It's a two-medal kind of weekend -- finisher medal at the emf 10k, and first place in the senior women's (3rd woman overall) at the Scottish marathon K1 championships.
Oh, and we also launched Hillfire Anthology, Volume 2 on Friday.
The launch was fabulous and meant I got very little sleep before the 10k, maybe that should be my new strategy because I'm happy with my time of 56:33, which is a new 10k pb for me. (Also 76th place out of 555 runners in my category, didn't expect that!) It was lovely to know Lesley Anne Winter and Gerry Taggart were on the course, too, and to see Lizelle Kemp and Alyssa Oh at the finish! Huge shout-out to Babs Pinheiro , who finished her first marathon today (which is the reason I signed up for the 10k in the first place)!
Taking part in the K1 race depended on me fixing my boat kind of last minute, to find it's still leaking in a different place during the race. I think the constant use of the pump probably improved my leg-drive. Great to see Vicky Johnson , Rob Pretorius , and the lovely Zula, and thanks to Debi Ives for organising the whole thing!
Meanwhile, Lizelle and Paul Hudson were out on the water saving lives. Might need some rest before the next adventure!
