Run Barbados Series
10k on saturday and a 1/2 marathon the following sunday, am i crazy? no this is what most runners do at the run barbados series. my goal was to run a good 10k and on the morrow to tackle the 1/2. well things went pretty good for me for i was able to secure a 5th place in the 10k and 3rd in the 1/2 Marathon.
the 10k was what i really wanted to do well in but my first km felt like crap and i thought about dropping out a million times , and that was only the first KM. i dugged ideep and stayed in the race only to realize that by 3k i was felling pretty good, by that time i was in 6th running with my friend Cleveland and a guy from America. we stayed together till 1k to go when my self and Cleveland took off on the American, sad to say i lost to Cleveland in a sprint and that's the second time this year.time 31:17 for 5th.
the following morning i jumped into the 1/2 marathon and stayed with the leader till 8k when i decided to increase the pace, things got a bit ugly when one Kenyan took off on me and a bit later heading down a hill, the Canadian and the other Kenyan tookoff on me. i remained calm and slowly worked my way towards town, caught the Kenyan with 5k to go but the canadian was too far ahead. 3rd place and a time of 1:09.23 after a hard 10k felt pretty good.. so all in all it was a pretty good weekend for the Zman.
my training buddy Marinus stephen tackled the marathon and by the looks of things he did pretty well coming in 5th. i must say i was pretty happy for him for i know he gave it his all. big up to you skelly.
