Running race 18:33 [5] 3.25 mi (5:42 / mi) +50m 5:27 / mi
Windy Nook parkrun - 1st, 18.33
Was thinking of trying to conserve energy for Thirsk but that went out of the window when some guy shot off.
Caught him by the 20 flight staircase on the first lap of 3, and when the first mile was 5.46, my thoughts turned to the course record which I knew was high 18's (actually 18.59). When the second mile was also 5.46 I was happy then it dawned I was nowhere near finishing the second lap, so the course was going to be signficantly long, despite the out and back round a cone supposedly there for the correct distance!
Got on with it and in the end was comfortably under, tricky little course, very east Midlandsy, and a lovely morning for it.
