Todays race was hard.
The race started and finished on the track in an athletics stadium which was great but the remaining 4k was through a quarry and then fields. Unfortunately it had been raining all last night so the field was very boggy, so there was a lot of dodging pot holes and slipping and sliding through the muddy field.
My time was 26:50, which in hind sight I'm not dissatisfied with considering the terrain.
Onwards and upwards....
My next race is a 5 mile(approx 8km) on 12th August - which is 7 weeks away, so time for 2 complete cycles. I might need some help on how to "use/lose" the additional week and also what to do on the weekend at the end of the 1st cycle when I should race. May be a 4k time trial to see where I am in preparation for the final cycle before the race.
Thanks for all your help.
