Started out really fast and after about 100m I glanced behind me and there were at most only 10 people. I settled into a rythem though and slowly moved up the field and was able to finish really strongly.

Be more prepared for the fast start.

Sat down and felt really sick for about half an hour. When you are used to spending 2/3/4 hours on the bike at low intesity running at such a high intensity all of a sudden is a real shock to the system!


Lack of race specific training.
Really ill the day before.


I thinks the mile is a really awkward distance to race. Anything less than a mile (&1500m) you can just hammer as hard as you can and anything longer you can settle into a rythem. With the mile I felt that I no sooner had I settled into a good rythem that I had to sprint to the finish line.

I definatly want to train properly for a mile at some point and aim for sub 5 mins.
