Isn't it strange the tricks your mind can play. It was the first handicap race this evening and I thought I'd tried hard and pushed myself. I haven't done this series since 2019 but I was quietly happy with a time of 50.44 for the 4.42 mile course.

Then Fetch tells me it was my '18th fastest out of 18 attempts' and bursts my bubble :-( Even worse, my WAVA is only 59.17%.

So, perceived effort = hard; actual effort = poor. Bugger.

I have a race tomorrow - the Rother Valley relays, where lots of clubs put lots of teams in and each team of 4 runs 5K. I'm first off for our mixed team, it's a real mix of runners - someone ran 15 mins last year, I'll be happy with 24 mins. It sounds really good fun.

LD, try not to compare to a 5 years ago you. We've all gone through a lot since then, including lockdowns, Covid and the unforgiving aging progress.

You. Got. Out. You runned. You felt good. You didn't cry and didn't die.
