| A chilly start (not obvious judging from all the singlets at the front of the pack, but trust me...) |

jelly babies to keep us going. |
Another cool morning with an on and off drizzle, saw the third event in the Winter Series of the Striders - again a 5km and 10km event, but this time also including a 15km, which we decided to do as built up for the Mizuno Half in two weeks time.
The route follows the same basic course for all the events, but for each distance some extra loops and out and back sections are introduced to make up the distance. The additional kilometres are all run on the quiet roads of the Massey campus as well as the Science Centres' site. Therefore another great event off the main roads, making it a quiet and comfortable outing spared from too much traffic.
We managed close to a 6min/km pace to finish in 1:33. Impressed with our attempt, especially taking into account our little less than desirable training routine, we returned home for a hearty bacon and egg breakfast.

| Done! Another one in the bag. |
