My faith is restored

I did the Half marathon today (final day Sunday)which was one of the outside running events as part of the World Masters Indoors here in Finland, the race started at 12.30, a morning start would be just too cold, I still think it was around zero when we took off. I wore a long sleeve under my Australian singlet, bike shorts and a cap, most people were long tights/top, gloves & beanies, I saw a couple of runners in only shorts & single, they would have been cold, I found that I was ok except my chest seem to stay cool.
  
Down to the run, I did it in 1.42.31, I was really happy to get under 1.45, I went thru the first 10kms in 49 1/2 and got thru the next 10 in close to 48, so I had a really strong 2nd half, I passed quite a few people, but I still was only 40th out of 51 in my age group.

After the run I went back to the track to watch the relays, we had a W60 that got silver and W45 team that took bronze, the 2 mens teams M60 & M55 were unplaced.

Tonight we have our farewell Dinner at the Old brick Inn English pub here in Jyaskyla, I am looking forward to that, its been a great time here and now looking forward to my next 2-3 weeks of travel  tomorrow I catch a train back to Helsinki where I will 2 days there and take it very easy, then on Wednesday I fly to Vilnius in Lithuania.

Here is me after the half.

Here is a video of the Lake before the half, they do call it the Harbour here, it may connect to the see thru the river system.
