beerchipsgravy Proper Carb loading day before, didnt even see any fruit veg or meat.

chip Barm for supper etc...

My prediction was based on the pace of my training runs, and I thought that 2:30 was a challenge, but I really impressed myself with 2:14

I obviously hadn't allow for the buzz of race day..

however, it was far from a float course. I've lived in preston all my life, and they managed to find hills I didnt even know about for us to run up !

So now thinking if i find a flat course I could well improve on that time.  sub 2hrs is no longer a ridiculous target....

buzby123 A very breezy and rainy day.  Course measured long on my Garmin to 13.39 miles, now officially confirmed by the race officials that the course was in the region of 13.3 miles.  I ran a near perfect race with only slight variations on my 8:14 mile predicted pace based on the undulations in the road.  Went through 13.1 miles at 1:46:10 on my watch, the last subway hill was a killer when we should have already finished.  Onwards and downwards. Unaffiliated 1:46:14 1:48:42 1:50:00 1:48:42 60.93
