Belated SMH Half Post

Well very happy with a new half pb of 85.58 - cut roughly 3 minutes off the same race last year. Had a great race and managed to stay cose to the 4 minute pace goal (4.04) average although Garmin had me at 4.01 and a total of 84.42 but I have to take the offical result. Felt pretty good until the last 1.5kms and just manage to hold one. Had a great run with Anthony Donnelly - caught up with him just after Star City at the 7km mark and we swapped the lead from then until the 18km mark, where he just dropped off a wee bit and came home in just under 87 I think.
Some great results from the Hurts team on the day and a really good atmoshere at the race which certainly helps lift the spirit.
Stats for the run are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/315203096 and have entered the Sydney Harbour 10 on the 14th July but also hoping to get out for the Striders North Head next Saturday if I can get a pass.
