Perfect Organism My fourth Hastings half marathon and one I was approaching in an unusual fashion. I had been out doing some runs prior to it, some long, some fast, but I wouldn't ever say that I had got into the true training zone. Also, I had quite a stressful Saturday trying to get various bits and bobs sorted out for our wedding. So I decided to have a few beers and a whisky in the evening, whereas I normally wouldn't before the race. So the night before I was thinking that I'd just run it for fun, but as I lined up I felt mentally in the mood to have a crack at it and so I gave it a go. And so for the first three miles I was actually in PB zone, but the came the hill which goes on for 3 miles, and almost immediately my spirit and legs were sapped. As I came to the brow and the descent began I just couldn't get back into the sub 7 min/miles and the chance for a PB passed me by. That is a valuable lesson I have learned this year; that a PB doesn't come without the hard work required of it! But as ever, I enjoyed this race. It is INCREDIBLY well supported for a fairly small event, and I always forget just how tough the course is. Hopefully I can remember that for next year! Unaffiliated 1:32:38 1:38:19 1:38:34 59.35
