77 Days To Go

First big race this weekend, absolutely belting 67th out of 269. New PB by nearly 4 mins - 1hr 35mins 25 secs - cant believe I actually ran so quick. My fastest mile was the last at 6mins 50 secs now that has never happened before. A race of quite a few other firsts for me as well - 1st time i have done the 2nd half of a half marathon quicker than the first half and the first time i have chased down so many people in the last mile, i think i overtook about 5 its normally double that that overtake me. I felt ok afterwards as well so it was a really good test of how the training was going this year.

A nice course with hardly any hills, main problems being the bridges up and over the motorway, but thoroughly enjoyed the run, quiet country lanes which is always nice.

A big well done to Swav as well who modestly said he would love to break 1hr 40min at some point soon and goes and knocks 3 mins of his PB with 1hr 37mins 46secs - the challenge will now be in 2 weeks when the next half marathon is scheduled - where do we go after these times.

What a good looking pair of athletes!!
