ABS Fun Run 7km 1st 23:57
Perfect weather for the ABS Fun Run 7km at lunch. Weather sunny, light winds, cool to warm. Every year a hotly contested run. It almost always comes down to seconds.
Splits: 3:12,3:19,3:28,3:30,3:35,3:28,3:20. I led from the start working solid to the dead turn at 3.5km. Saw I had only a slender lead. Backed off slightly to save for a sit and then kickdown finish. Went full gas with 600m to go, maybe 10 seconds in front of Alistair who got the better of me in 2018. Federal politician and winner Canberra Half Marathon 2018 Andrew Leigh was 3rd and couple of minutes back. Natty B won the female section.
For the record: Times in 2010 24:01 1st, 2015 23:11 1st, 2016 short course, 2017 24:01 2nd, 2018 24:07 2nd
