VO2Max of 60!

This race was on 3 May 2007, but finally the results are out.
The JP Morgan Run takes place in the heart of CBD, at peak times in the middle of the week.
This race was only a week after my last race over an equivalent distance, which I won. This time I finished amoung the top 3% of a total of 2435 runner, with an average pace of 4min6sec per km. With more than 11,ooo participants, I knew that starting position was crucial. The 1st 200m was a mad rush to the 1st corner, after which it was managing my journey into the red-zone.
Finally, I finished ahead of all my colleges but still slower than those from my ex-company. Those gazzelles are still in top form, although I managed to slow the gap.

All the devotion to running has improved my running tremendously, but I still wished that I could be in 2 wheels.

Anyway, based on my timing from this race, my VO2 Max as calculated using Joe Beer's site is 60, not bad.
