KatieB HIDEOUS. I really didn't enjoy the actual race at all. Met up with a few harriers at the start, lots of the speedy folk were there, the lovely Smile2 and 2 of my coaches. Did a warm up with coachMark and then bimbled down to the start with 2 of the *very* speedy male harriers. Then met Kinky who was running the race as a tempo. I kept the swaying plait in sight for as long as I could. :-) The sun came out at the start which wasn't in my plan, it was hot and more undulating than I expected. Mile 3 starts with a steep little incline which flattens out but is still uphill all the way to 4 miles. That was my slowest mile at 7.53. Ok, the last mile was the best mile in that i feel i actually ran it reasonably well. I pulled back to 7.13mm for the last, and felt really dizzy at the finish...I saw Kinky smiling at me through a haze and then couldn't find her again. I think it's a silver standard so I'm really happy with that. But gah and yuck....I wanted to walk and then lie down under all of the shadey trees from about 1 mile onward. Lol...I'll call it a learning experience I think.

KinkyS Last minute decision to do this as a tempo run on tired legs. Considering the heat and the slight undulations I'm well pleased with the time, and a good strong finish overtaking several people for a 6:57 fastest final mile got the job done. Official time recorded - Garmin time was 36:07!

bjworld really pleased to get under the hour considering how hot it was. Overtook a couple of people coming up the hill so I wasn't last, and finished faster than I started.

Alanoia Fast, ouch! Should have bided my time instead of giving Martin a target for the last half mile. Points first, performance second!
