Run > Race

Ouch - that was hard! A rather slower time than I'd hoped for but fortunately I was chasing one of my weakest PBs so the betting points are in the bag! I guess that 40 miler last week isn't fully out of my system yet. I started ok but by 2 miles I was already seriously flagging. I usually catch a few of my fellow stragglers in the second half of a race but the running shoe was on the other foot today and the roles were reversed. Nice to see KatieB in her Fetch top running the other way down the road near the start. Note to self: learn how to tie your sodding shoe laces properly... re-tieing them 3 times must've cost me at least 30 seconds and maybe one position! Pace all over the shop - km splits: 5:34, 5:44, 5:54, 6:17, 6:16, 6:34, 6:06, 6:17, 6:11, (5:51 pace for last 691m)
