Pierre Updated now I've got my official time - quite pleased with this - first time I've run a race for quite a while, didn't think I was up to finishing in this time. Happy with my pace - good start, bit of a slow 4th K but battling the Runhead AC 20:03 21:40 21:40 59.31
Binks Serpentine RC 19:08 19:49 20:41 62.13
sanddancer How the hell did I get a PB feeling the way I did?! So nearly pulled out of this one after a night without any sleep whatsoever. I also felt a bit queasy just for good measure. Just before the race I decided that I wouldn't push the time. In the event, I ran the first km 'blind' without ever checking my pace... my anticipated 6 minute split ended up being 5:06 which was rather faster than PB pace. Having done that I felt obligated to keep it going but it was like running uphill through treacle. Nevertheless, each subsequent split was respectable, keeping my overall pace on target for a PB. The fourth and fifth kms felt particularly hard and with 0.5km to go, my bursting lungs felt like they could do no more. Somehow I managed to finish without walking for a new PB by 22 seconds. Kilometre splits: 5:06, 5:35, 5:33, 5:46, 5:45. Vale of Aylesbury AC 27:30 27:30 28:00 28:01 47.25
