redtoenails OK. Personal Worst, but with injuries this year I'm OK with that. Was OK up to 9, then sort of lost interest Unaffiliated 1:55:00 2:15:00 2:18:00 54.16

i-plodder Plan of taking a recent 5K as predicting pace, plus gauging pace from HMHR segments during runs at 173 meant that I ran a controlled race. I set off aiming to average 7:07/173 and did so until around two miles to go. There was enough in the tank to do the last 2 miles at near 5K pace. Running a hard 5K three weeks before really helped the mental effort at the end. 
Following plan of just under a pint of water on waking, a bowl of cereal plus 500ml two hours before, 125ml just before seemed to work. 
Had used Hal Higdon's advanced half marathon training plan for guidance. Good on the mix of intervals. Good idea to incorporate tempo running and a hard/pace/hr final 1/3 (as opposed to HH's final 1/4) on long runs. 
Nike compression top was fine from heat pov. Probably prevented chaffing too (when wet)

tuck up Not predicting anything after my blowout at Burnham, but hope it is cooler and I can achieve what I think I can.
After a dreadful start where I got stuck behind loads of people aiming for 2.15, I eventually found space at 3 miles and was pretty pleased with my time. Les Croupiers RC 1:18:24 1:28:06 1:28:06 71.87

Laurence Coughing and sore throat started day before, probably went off a bit fast considering that. :-( Course wasn't nearly as flat as they'd promised, but nothing like Pembs though. Didn't like the dual carriageway, preferred the route through the parks last year. Pembrokeshire Harriers AAC 1:30:01 1:34:28 1:34:00 1:40:48 63.36
