5km race in hyde park
It was very windy conditions today so guessing pbs were out the window, nearly got blown into the serpentine at one point.. first half was particularly blowy. along by the serpentine i was playing a game of cat and mouse with another runner he was ahead i overtook, he overtook then i overtook again can't really remember how long this went on for or how many times was getting despondents 1st 3kms were getting slower the 1st wasn't particularly that quick But then the last 2kms became quicker including that orrible little incline just before the turn for home,

Surprisingly the incline today didn't seem that bad. for whatever the reason heard tracey giving me a huge shout of encouragement and into the home bit urged on by ceal got me moving my arms a bit then a few of the serpies at the finish were shouting at me to keep at it ie. don't slow down apparently the drama was going on behind me got to the finish and one of them said pointing to this man (my cat and mouse playmate) was attempting to overtake me Someone said about not looking behind me. I didn't
