Event: 38th Surrey Hills Race
Note
Stretching x2, off to Rome in the evening after a busy weekend
11 AM
Running race (Surrey Hills Trail Race) 1:17:02 [4] 15.98 km (4:49 / km) +300m 4:24 / km
shoes: Innovate Roclite 212
Switched up to 16k on the day to use this as a training for Richmond. Positively surprised by the outcome, but also a sense of "what if". After yesterday's effort, and not knowing the course (went slightly wrong a few times), I was quite worried I'd run out of steam somewhere.
Took the first 8-10k quite easily, generally running between 4:45 m/k and 5:45 m/k (depending on climb) until the top of Leith Hill. Found a rhythm after the first 5k or so and, with the exceptions of some longer climbs, found it reasonably easy. Pushed it more in the 2nd half, knowing that it was mainly downhill from here.
Surprised to only be 1:18 down on the winner in 4th, having thought for the entire race there was a massive pack ahead. Feeling quite refreshed after (a lot better than in Keswick), so with the benefit of hindsight could have definitely pushed myself harder in the first half. Looking forward to next year
