Queens Park 5k - 2nd - New course PB by about 50s.
Felt completely dead warming up before the start, probably due to being up since 5.45am for the early train to a meeting in Birmingham with Rob, then surveying a 20 story building in the afternoon.
So just set off with the aim of a good result, not a time, but knew there were some decent runners there. Sat on Marc Hartley for as long as I could with Matt Smith just behind. That's the way it ended. Although I probably lost 5-10 with 600m to go when my throat dryed up and had to stop for a second and lost my rhythm. Not a fast course either with some hilly sections, terrain parts and turn around point/bends. Looking good.
Mile splits: 5.06, 5.26, 5.29 - fast first part to the course before hills etc.
