Comments:

Pacing wise I think I got this one pretty well nailed on. I had wanted to run sub 90 and other than a hiccup at around mile 8 - 9 went well, I ddin't have much left for the last mile and ran that on auto pilot. I did loose a few positions in the last 2 - 3 miles.
What would you do differently?:

It was my birthday and although fairly sensible I had been out for an Indian and had a few beers the night before, I think this was the cause of my issues around miles 8 - 9 where I just felt a little uneasy. Overall very pleased but as ever could have done slightly better.

Warm down:

Cup of tea!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Birthday celebrations the night before.

Event comments:

A good low key event, not quite the same sharpness as the 4 villages 1/2 but it was the first year and it's a great course for a PB
