Standard Bank 5km Race

Yesterday was the Standard Bank Swazi Slojoes Half Marathon. My dad ran the 21km, whilst Paige and I did the 5km. Paige also ran it last year. I was sick last year, so it was my first time.

Paige and I started fast. We were at the front for the first half. Then lots of people started taking short-cuts across the field and ended up in front us. It was a chaos and the marshals couldn't do anything.

Anyway, Paige and I just wanted to set times to beat in the future... and we did that. My time was 27:29 and Paige was 27:59.

Dad finished his race in 1:59:30. He was happy because it was under 2 hours, which was his aim. He was a lot more tired than us.
