My 3rd race in 6 days (not bad for a marathon taper.....)

This was a low key event based around the Ridgeway (a bit shorter than Gobis one though).

Aim was to get under the hour and not to go out at full tilt.

Mile 1 - 6:42 Flat on and off road
Mile 2 - 7:00 Hard underfoot conditions
Mile 3 - 7:15 First hill not too bad
Mile 4 - 9:03 Nedd more breathing holes as mouth and rear end are struggling up this monster hill
Mile 5 - 6:27 at last finish on the hill and start going down
Mile 6 - 6:10 WWWWWEEEEEEEEEEE down we go
Mile 7 - 6:50 Flatten out
Mile 8 - 8:17 open up for a big finish - where is the Bl**dy finish line, that was a little on the long side for a mile on the flat and on the road....

Finish with 57:48 in about 30th place. 

Now for a nice easy week before Halstead Marathon next week. Swindon Striders 57:47 57:47 57:47 60.76
