Running - Trail race (Rainow 5) 35:37 [5] 8.08 km (4:24 / km) +244m 3:50 / km
ahr:150 max:169 shoes: Adidas Speed Pro SG (10.5)
37:09 in 2018 so 1:32 faster despite the 61 miles on Saturday! And being 4 years older. Very happy.
Good conditions; raining all day hence the shoe choice but dry and the race and not too warm.
6th place and 1st team - Allen 2nd, Simon 3rd and Chris a few places and 1:10 behind me. I wasn't too far behind Simon - I could see him, 4th and 5th all the way around.
Went out hard and continued hard up the tarmac hill, then tactically walked most of the grassy Nancy climb so I'd be able to start running immediately at the top - this strategy worked well and I was quite a way ahead of 7th by the end of the ridge, who was with me on the climb.
Enjoyed it. Seemed very short!
Loads of cake afterwards. Tempted by chocolates for a team prize but got beer instead to give to Em :)
