10th in British 10k road champs vitality 10000. raced started quick, first k in 2:57 and was lying about 15th-20th. just behind the main chase group. 1st 3 went away. A group of me, Rowe and Gilbert formed in 2-4k and by 5k I and Rowe had got back to the big group ahead with grace and Goodman going out the back door. By 7k that group had splintered as maud put a surge in and took mellor with him. By this time I was fighting to stay with any of the group although clowes was dropped. I stayed with Huck until last 800m when he went away.

5k 14:57
pleasing result only 6 secs down from last year. Think i wasted too much energy bridging the gap to get back to the big chasing pack that when the heat turned up at 7k I had nothing left. At least no-one took me in the last 5k.
