Wrapped up well and jogged the course. Enjoyed it a lot, shame only 60 or so ran. everyone else missed a treat and it wasn't raining for most of the event.
A panic before leaving home as I couldn't find contact lens. Seems I've used them all! And with the damp, the magnifier was no help, so only had bare eyesight. As a result couldn't read contours so navigated off the main features, mainly paths, got myself into right area and hoped for best. On the whole this approach was fine.
Health is good, though not 100% better. Made sure not to exert myself. Eased back a bit around 5 as I felt the heart was working a bit harder then ideal. Would loved to have run Brown, as the terrain suits me.
Running pace today, slower than 7min/km. At LOC 2 years ago, my running pace was 5:45/km which is what I'd think I'd run if healthy now. So was down more than a min/km
