Terrain running race 37:46 [5] 10.0 km (3:47 / km)
shoes: inov8 roclite 243
Cassiobury Park XC 10k - 5th
Good race in whippendell woods, which I've orienteered on but didn't recognise. There were quite a few short hills and one long drag, and the ground was pretty soggy in places.
We were told the race would start after a 1 minute silence but everyone decided they would go on the whistle to end the silence instead. So made a bit of a banter start to catch up. First k in the park was 3:36. After that it was into the woods and I managed to pick off a couple of guys before settling into my 5th place with biggish gaps in front and behind. Glad there was no sprint for the line as I was feeling it in my legs.
They have plotted it out on mapmyrun as the full 6.22 miles but it does feel like it may have been short. Maybe my garmin struggled with the twists and turns under the trees - will be interesting to compare routes.
37:46 would be a pb I think but this must have been a couple of minutes slow with the hills and terrain, and am I really in sub 36 shape on a flat road course? Guess we will find out in a couple of weeks at the bass belle 10 mile...
