Ok, it's a net downhill race and therefore does not count officially as a PB race but I am pleased to note that sub 22 is now very likely (it's said to be about 30 sec faster than a flat course, so I could be looking at 21.35ish). Not bad at all, considering that my parkrun times were 23:30-50ish this year so far. Feeling very positive about my running right now. Maybe sub 21 by the end of the year and the tackle the sub 20 next year.
