5 km Waterfront Race

There was a fairly strong northerly wind blowing tonight. My left hamstring/glute was still feeling a little sore but it seemed to warm up pretty well. I tried hard to concentrate on technique during the event and did not push hard. John, who usually finishes ahead of me, was also working on his style and dropped behind me after about 600 m. I was happy with my result of 30:48 and felt quite loose after the race.
