Hadn't planned on putting a big effort for 2 Oceans this year. But it just turned out to be one of those days.
Initially encouraged Toy to latch on to the "sub 1hr 30 bus" and see how long she lasted. Maybe she could stick to the end. Honestly didn't think it was on the cards for me. But as the race went on I shadowed Toy and started feeling quite good. So I took over the pacing. Unfortunately Toy dropped back just a bit. With 10k's to go and 43min to get them done to break 90min, I decided to have a bash.
It meant leaving Toy behind but she still managed a 1hr32 and a PB. Probably because she was trying to catch me and tell me what a "*!!?*&%$ I was for leaving her behind. I managed 1hr28 (not quite a PB) but at the cost of a 87% avg HR. Oh well the silver was worth it.
