Hi THeEd
It wasn't a lousy start to be honest, but I struggled becuase of the insane pace of the first 15 minutes! I was a bit cuatious as I was not sure of %100 recovery from 21k race - but i was ok. It was a huge club race of 600 runners, some of who are elite level. The course narrows quickly and there is a struggle for position.
I paced it a bit slower than normal, but me and a clubmate attacked on the last lap and made up loads of places, passing guys who went off two hard. There is an enormous steep hill and that sorts out the men from the boys on lap 3 especially
I did a nice easy 60 this morning and I am recovering nicely :great::great::great:
All the best
Dave
