Event: Percy Pud 10k
8 AM
Running 22:47 2.71 mi (8:24 / mi) +132m 7:18 / mi
ahr:123 max:139 shoes: Asics Gel Hyperspeed (8.5)
From home to the start of the race with Andy C. Not a nice morning.
Running 34:57 6.18 mi (5:39 / mi) +77m 5:27 / mi
ahr:152 max:157
Not a very good morning at the office, and a pretty poor run. Just never felt like I could get into top gear and push on. So disappointed not to be able to chase after and try to run with the other Hallamshire guys who all got good times. But it's all my own fault, I can't expect to have a big night out on Friday and then race well on Sunday. I'd also already got my head set on running poorly, which ended up a being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Although every cloud does have a silver lining, and I can take three positives from today:
1. I was still 30 seconds quicker than last year
2. I ran a negative split - out in 17.43, back in 17.14
3. I didn't throw up
So a big step backwards from two weeks ago, but hopefully Bolsover in two weeks time gives me a chance to make amends.

In a boo when I finished so didn't hang around and ran straight home.
