I finished in 33:26, putting me in the top 25% of the 40-45 age group and among the fastest 6th of the whole race. I knew I would beat 36 minutes. Also, two days before the race I ran two kilometers fast and, violating my promise to stop using a watch, I timed it. Since the two kilometers took me over eight minutes and I was certain I could not keep that pace, I realized that I could not break 30. Anyway, I'm very happy with the result.
