Berkeley power station 20 miler ?/?

Drove up and knee was sore from waking up which was concerning did a short warm up and still uncomfortable and considered calling it there to avoid causing any damage but decided I would run for 20 mins and see if settled which thankfully it did. Then felt quite good when knee movement was more free. Not a huge field so although had couple to work off the whole of second half of race was a lonely affair although did overtake a bloke with about 3 km to go.

Legs felt quite good until 15 miles when everything became harder along with a headwind slowed down somewhat but nothing too drastic and really surprised with the outcome. Is a quicker course than last year's 20 miler so think it's a fairly comparable effort but with physical week in work and knee issue a great result....just need to shake off knee pain (sore since) and maybe I have a chance at London.
