Chelles Running Blog

Little Pom who met an Aussie eight years ago and moved over here to be with him. Love Brisbane and all it has to offer, not sure if I would have been as keen about getting up at 5am during the English winter for a run!

Offical 8km time is 1minute less!

Well I'm not sure how it happened, but I've just received my official chip time for the 8km through and it was 36.48, virtually a minute less than I thought.... I'm not convinced its right, surely I couldn't have misread my watch by a minute could I - going to have to do some further investigating before I start celebrating that one too much :)


[edit] I've gone over the finisher list, and a couple of other people who I know were running times are up there, and they seem to be what they thought. OMG, I didnt take 79seconds off my pb, I took (starts adding up on fingers......) 137seconds off it! Wow! If thats really the case, and I still can't believe it, yaay me, and yaay the chocolate coated coffee beans!!

Go Chelle!

Have you put your new 8k time in the race pace calculator (http://www.runningtimes.com/pace/predict.htm) to see what it comes up with for the GC Half? Looks very promising!

And thanks for the tip on the chocolate coated coffee beans - can't wait to give them a go.
