The Belly Is Gaun Tae Get Ye Tune up race. Don't think I will get near PB.
UPDATE: Probably as good as it gets for me, felt good and just got better. Small field so finished quite far down, but that matters not a lot. Ride 63 32:30 32:58 35:00 32:58 66.13
wil e coyote Targetted 6:30 pace based on current fitness level post injury. 

Started steady but as usual got caught up being over keen, 6:18 for mile one. Mile 2 into wind with uphill section in 6:24. Attempted to catch jim white and couple of kilbarchan runners into mile 3 but struggled on turn back, 6:34. Down into mile 4 and got my wind back, pushed on to 6:30. Mile 5 with two runners 50m and bit further in front, managed to overtake the first guy but not the second. Finished with 6 min last mile. 

Decent race, ave 6:22 so pleased. Defo could take this down to 6 over next couple of months and get sub 37 by the summer. The bigger challenge is to get the endurance based to allow the 1/2 time to come down. Ayrodynamic Runners, Loudoun Runners AC 31:52 31:52 32:30 31:52 68.94
