themookid Ouch I didnt enjoy that one bit today. No surprises though as racing at 9am is defo too early for me on only 3½ hours sleep thanks to big Joe Calzaghe! I couldnt get warmed up properly in the bitter wind but once started I was feeling ok at approx 6 min miling down the grassy 1st mile despite that winds best efforts to stop me. Caught and passed Paul ahead of me at about 2 miles but my main target was Mark today who was not gettng any closer. I just couldnt relax into it though and hitting the headwind again at the turn around was like hitting a very cold wall and just wanted to stop by now. Treading water all the way back. Paul caught and passed me just before the climb back up to the greensward which put a much needed rocket up me and I finally kicked in to the finish. Despite the excuses, that was only a minute slower than Wix and nearly everyone was down on time also. A good time considering, but lack of sleep + cold + wind = not much fun. Unaffiliated 31:20 31:20 32:24 65.05
Tom Tom Absolute shite!! Ran at granny pace for the mid section, as I got a bad stitch:( Course was quite tough (first mile on grass, headwind for miles 1,4 and 5), and most people were 1-2 mins down on their normal 5 mile times. Quite pleased with finishing 15th considering how badly I ran. Unaffiliated 31:33 33:06 35:32 67.86
