RFJ Race Report - Mota-vation series 1 of 5 (Charlton on Otmoor) 4.1m Big turn out from all the local clubs, very very competive series, so no chance of repeating the 21st I got on Monday, more like 121st. Big turn out too from our club as it is part of our club champs, have a reasonable warm up but still feeling tired from a before 4 am start this morning. Off to the start for this fast flat course, and off we go its utter chaos trying to vie for position, it seem everyone has started too quickly, inc me, loads of club mates around, so I know I can beat others may be a tussle. Hit the first mile far too quickly in 6:15, but still motoring but the breathing is all over the place, during the second mile get taken by club mate and have no response. Finish of mile 2 in 6:30. Happy with the pace but am expecting a burn out. Keep on tails of club mate who pulls me though a few runners inc another club mate, then we have a very sharp turn, see club mate taking it easy on the bend so decide at 2.75m to go for a break of speed, manage it and sustain it go though 3m in 6:31, so 1.1 to go, keep on pushing can feel hot spots on my feet, but now battling for position which seems to be changing every step. miss the 4m marker, into the finish for a sprint, get taken by one but get two myself, and cross the line in 26:14. Got to be happy with that. 1m 6:15 2m 6:30 3m 6:31 4.1m 6:56 Swindon Striders 26:14 26:14 26:14 65.30
