After Twiggy threw a sickie I decided to do the Wellingborough 15km off road race plus some miles. Simple plan, run some laps race(controlled effort) and run laps. 

Did a warm up lap and headed back to the car where I happened to have my XC spikes so I put them on, tells you about conditions on a quite hilly course.

Lap1 and off steady, mixture of 5/10/15km runners turns out I am running with the lead lady in the 10km. All smooth no issues. 

Lap2 and I pulled away from the lead lady but was joined by the 2nd place man in the 10km. Funny as on every hill I moved away and he had to come back to me. That was the entire lap with me letting him go as he kicked for the finish. 

Lap3 and discovered 2 things, I was in 6th place and I could see 5th. Having not raced for 2 laps I decided to see if I could catch him nothing silly but 10 minutes later I was in 5th. 

So what a difference a day makes 

3 laps at not much slower than yesterdays 5km pace and my last lap was the fastest. Felt good enough to carry on at the same pace. 

54.55 and 5th place, 1st V40 

Total miles 15. A good day. 

Rach did the 10km as a hard training run and finished 3rd lady with no foot pain :¬)
