Blister - how was the 10km ?

Meant to say although over distance as they are also training for the 1500 the 2 young lads I'm working with ran a km Time trial on Wednesday one in 2.42 and the other in 2.50

Awsome time samson!

Wow they are good times Gobi!

It went well thanks....I won the race! I've never won a race before (I wrote a blog about it) but basically there wasn't much competition I managed win by pushing the pace from the lead pack after 3 miles.

I got a new PB too (it was hilly, very muddy (off road) in places and windy) but still managed 37.45 - I reckon should be about a minute quicker on a fast course.

Heres another thing as well, which shows how much of a difference finishing my degree (on Wednesday) has made to my stress etc. Last week I did the Midland road relays (about as hilly as today and with less mud), but when I look at my splits for both, the first 3 miles today were quicker than last weeks 3 mile race!

Midland 3 miles: 6.13, 5.58, 5.45
10k first 3 miles: 5.48, 6.05 (muddy), 5.55
