Boddington 50k (rescheduled event)

Sun August 19 2007
Entrants (3) Club PB SB Pred Time WAVA
Gobi Boddington 50km 3.46.55

Used as a training run ahead of my 100km

Laps are about 2.22 miles long 

7 laps with BB at just under 8mm pace. This went well apart from the toilet breaks and having to change my shoes after 4 laps. I guess breaking my own rules on NEW SHOES was a bad idea. 
Picked up pace gradually with a very strong few laps at the end. Managed to unlap myself from quite a few runners and only just missed catching Mud back up.

All in all a good workout.

Muds Probably be too hot. Not chasing a PB. Too near 100K. Start now 11:15.  Heat acclimatisation & race practice will all benefit 100K. *UPDATE*
Too hot? Too wet maybe! Conditions suited me. A nice taper into 100k will benefit. 5th in English Champs 2nd MV40. Started quick & allowed myself to fade. I need to take on more fluid. Watford Joggers 3:39:05 3:45:40 3:50:00 3:45:40 73.61
