God's Window Half-Marathon

October 5, 2019 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Very warm for this time of year and very little shade on the route!

Comments:
A race that's been on my bucket list for a long time. Very tough, with most of the first 10km being uphill. Out-and-back route - I was very slow to the 10.5km turnaround, reaching that in around 1:33. Despite the long downhills on the way back, I couldn't run them the way I would have liked - the heat and legs wouldn't allow it, but I was still about 8 minutes faster than the route out and in the end, I was happy to just finish under 3-hours. Felt OK at the end, but a little sunburnt! Don't want to do too many races in the heat this summer! However, the scenery is spectacular and I was very pleased that I have ticked this one off!
