There's no doubt a mile race would see you easily in 8.xx territory. It's YOU that ran it - great stuff! Bigleggy - after the mutually committed start we all made in January there was bound to be a slackening off at some point. I've been a bit haphazard with my own training while I concentrated on racing - but I'm getting right back on it from tomorrow.
