Newton's Fraction 1/2. Was worried I had gone off too quickly as first miles went by fast at 8s or under. Took a gel. Saw the support crew at start of canal at 2.5m, then at bottom of first hill 5-6m. I got up the hill fine and didn't walk like others around me! Had a bit of chat at the top and then it was halfway. Seemed to keep the pace up on the lumpy bits to 10.5m where we hit the next big one. Again I kept jogging up this 1:12 hill. I took a gel at the top then did 7:50s all the way home overtaking a few, with the lap of the stadium at 7:00 pace. Looking at the splits, I think I was around 10mm going up the hills. All in all a great run which felt short due to the long runs I've been doing recently. Aim was 8:30pace but it ended up being 8.20 pace.

Position 27th woman out of 161. 7th V40.
