Vindicator PROVISIONAL TIME: I think I stopped my watch late so time could be 34:40, however due to being knackered and some inept finishing funnel staff, another runner or two may have got infront when numbers were taken. Ran the first downhill mile too fast (6:22) trying to keep up with a club mate who has improved massivlely this summer. got a slight stitch on the first climb so held back a bit on the down hill section to mile 3 (6:54, 6:46) and was dropped by them. A sharp incline then flat to mile 4 went OK (7:12). The last mile was a long drag uphill. Held it together keeping most of my speed (7.21) until a railway bridge where the hill slacks off and there is 0.1 miles to go with a sharp left right in a housing estate to the finish. Looked behind to see a normally faster clubmate closing me so kicked. (I think he was treating this a tempo run not a race). The two of us absolutely caned it around the bends to the finish, much to the delight of the spectators. I forced him wide, but slower runners were baulking me a bit. To be honest, he is faster and had another kick left, where I did not. He beat me in the last few yards, I crossed the line blown and doubled up - possibly why some runners may have pushed passed me. Got my PB, got Vicksta's cotton wedding aniversary present - The T shirt at this race has always been good. Harlow RC 33:17 34:42 35:00 34:42 60.95
