Run
Comments: I started at the and deliberatley set off fast. After the first km I realised that I was about 8th and I did worry a little that I might have set off a bit fast and was just waiting for loads of people to pass me (I finished ~90th in my last 10K). I felt fairly comfortable though so just kept plodding away. I tried staying on the heels of a guy in front of me but he pulled away after about 3km so I just settled into my own pace. At the half way mark I was in 6th position and catching the guy in front of me who had pulled away earlier. On one of the big hills in the last 4km I pushed hard and pulled away from him a little and then gradually increased this advantage to the end. 4th place finished some way in front of me so there was never a chance to catch him. It's strange how I felt very tired before this race and had done nearly 20 hours of training during the week and had the best race of my season (so far) yet last weekend I was rested, felt good but had the worst race of my season...

Event comments: Nice friendly atmosphere and lot of marshals to point the way. An interesting course through the park with some nice hills thrown in. Last updated: 2009-03-08 12:00 AM

Jogged around a little, did a few stretches and generally tried to look as if I knew what I was doing.
