a.k.a Billy First race since FLM  and really eager to get racing again. Also just back from 2 weeks hols so well rested. I really think i'm gonna PB, My mile reps recently where consistent 6.30's.
UPDATE - Really enjoyed the race I PB'd but thought i might by a bigger margin but i'm still pleased. Great Venue for an event Dunstable RRC 20:56 21:47 21:30 21:48 59.58

BDR Not sure how, but with very little and slow running training I managed a PB!  Obviously training is overrated.  If it wasn't for the older gentleman in front of me during the race (who I tried to keep up with) I probably wouldn't have managed it.   Later found out he was in the over 70's - well done that man!

Lakes First race since injury in April so don't waste your credits. UPDATE. Well that went better than I expected and I really enjoyed it.  What was particularly satisfying was friends getting pbs and the performances of those who ran from our beginners group. Bedford Harriers AC, Rushden Runners 24:35 25:57 28:00 25:57 54.56
Lieutenant Lucerne PB should be possible. Managed an average pace of 4m09s/km on an undulating 10k route in April, so even at the same pace on this flat 5K I would get a PB.
UPDATE. Was able to beat my previous PB by a comfortable margin. A fast and crowded first 1K was followed by a steadier second and a slower third (the course climbs slightly in the middle). Picked up the pace for the last 2Kms and while it wasn't quite a sprint finish, I avoided being overtaken in the last 200m.

Lycra Hurricane A hard race, but I kept the pace up thoughout and finished strongly. A very enjoyable evening, and the reward of a fine hamburger and beer afterwards! Bedford Harriers AC, Rushden Runners 23:45 23:47 24:50 23:47 62.93
Mr BDR My first race of the year, after my foot injury.  I felt loads better than I expected and managed to go quite a bit quicker than I hoped and fairly consistent pacing too! Milton Keynes AC, Team Milton Keynes 19:54 22:13 24:00 22:13 58.02

No.8 ™ 9th overall, first men's team and all things considered have to be happy, as I couldn't have done anymore. Thought I had PB'd until I checked now and I was 7 seconds out! Unaffiliated 17:11 17:11 17:00 17:18 75.98

runnyeyes At last..a pleasing race result!I did need that for encouragement...and I meet some more real-life Fetchies...so, a good evening out.! Unaffiliated 25:36 25:36 25:36 62.39
Schnecke Hoping a new PB should be possible, as it is a very flat course.  Have broken 10K and half-mara PBs this year, would like another to add to the set!  Update - it hurt a lot, but I did it!  Time is from stopwatch, as no results up yet. North Herts Road Runners 23:19 24:53 25:00 24:53 65.54
shakewell This was my first race and I wanted to give up after 2 miles, but my friend steffany kept me running to the end. Bedford Harriers AC 26:42 27:44 30:00 29:25 43.73
Silvershadow After all this training with the club I shall be disappointed if I don't beat last summer's RFL time.  
I ran all the way!!! Had a great time. Good to meet Schneke and Runnyeyes before the race and MRF afterwards as well as all the Harriers and Harrier/Fetchies. Bedford Harriers AC 30:20 34:36 35:00 34:36 45.31
