My first "official" time for the tan: 15:33.4 And a 4 second PB for The Tan also.
First time I have done this "race", in fact first time I have done a time-trial.

Actually was not feeling that great for this run. On the jog up there, I was a bit outta breath. I had been having a bit of a sore calf (still), and a sore big toe (squashed at BasketBall, was bleeding in my shoe, think the nail may fail off). Starting out I felt slow (or slower than I could be) but I climbed the hill OK. I didn't really have an expectations so good to get a PB.

The one thing that was likely in my favour, I had a mini-taper and didn't run for the 2 days prior (i.e. 2 1/2 days rest from running), but still rode some 80km. Also I ran a bit later, after the what I presumed to be, the initial rush.
