Road run race (Corporate Challenge) 17:31 [5] 4.4 km (3:59 / km)
(Garmin distance.) Didn't think I'd be taking part when I got up. Ankle in particular was very sore. Decided to try an ibuprofen, then realised I'd never actually had the one I'd meant to take before Silverstone. Which would explain the severe discomfort during and after that race. Took one before work and one before the race and felt just fine. Warmed up ok and was confident. But after steady first lap I felt much more fatigued than usual in the second. Caught Ben in the third but he pulled ahead when he heard me (expecting it), so I sat in till fourth. Went past in East Street and tried to get a gap, but legs were heavy and when he sprinted for the finish from the Park I had nothing left. Enjoyed it though and pleased to get it in in the circumstances. Splits 4.20, 4.30, 4.25, 4.17. Best of three.
