Waitrose Sudbury Fun Run 5

Banny $I've done it, I've *!@#\|\/ done it! I have done my first 5 miles in under 40 minutes at the Sudbury Fun 5. I arrived with a kind of plan and it worked. My plan was run as fast as I can, good idea. I arrived with time to spare and milled around. It was blowing like a gale and freezing with it. I even took in a tasty mug of hot choc from the local Wimpy before starting. Got to the start and it was reasonably organised but the first mile was awful. With the traffic just being held up and not cleared there was runners everywhere in a small space. I apologise to anyone I pushed out of the way but there was just no space. It wasn't the walkers, well at the start anyway, they left half an hour before. So my first mile was a respectable but definitely NOT a record split 8.22. As the field began to narrow out I was pushing on, lots of nice down hill stretches and not too many ups either. Three to Four was the longest up of the run but managed to keep going and the last mile was great. I even had a Female Halstead Runners comment to me near the end$ Hayes & Harlington Road Runners	39:41	39:41	41:00	39:41	55.36

BigRedFace Massively exceeded expectations, thanks in part to a strong following wind in the first two and last mile. I don't think this is a PB I'll be breaking any time soon! A well marshalled and organised race, although the spectators were putting themselves at risk on the starting straight!
