As I was planning to do the 2 lap race as well, plus yesterday's cycling, I started off very conservatively, and didn't make any attempt to compete. That was the case until Cyrille's friend caught me up. He had said that he was hoping for 33 mins so that plus the fact that it was him spurred me on. Also the running guy who lives in this street was ahead of me and I at least wanted to beat him as he is the same age category as me. I knew I wouldn't be first in my age group as Molnar Laci had overtaken me early on. If I hadn't done the cycling I would have tried to compete with him. Around the Platan my left shoe-lace came undone but of course I couldn't stop. The guy who I had spoken to at VTM was ahead of me and he was my target. Eventually I caught him up, but I couldn't drop him as he was obviously motivated by me. There was a strong headwind for the last part whuch didn't suit me. I had given up beating that guy , but then I was caught up by two guys who looked like they might be in my age category, and one of them even went ahead, but that was the perfect motivation for me and I was able to muster a sprint which put paid to those two guys and I was also able to overtake the VTM guy, who I was surprised to see didn't put in a sprint finish. I was 37th out of 223. and I was right to put in a sprint finish as the guy who overtook me near the end was the same age group as me, with a French name. There was a very good runner in the two lap race in my age group who ran a low 55 mins.
