Just got back from doing the Nick Beer 10km Road Race and i got a pb of 48.07. Well chuffed with this time after the crap preparation. Everyone shot off like a bolt at the start but the first 5km is all uphill and what a bloody hill. So i held back and just plodded on in a normal sort of training mode pace. After about 4km the patience paid off and i started picking off people one by one.
The downhill bit i just let fly but i still found this quite hard going. I had a good strong finish. The best and most pleasing thing about all this was i didn’t hide at all and gave it everything i had.
Woo hoo, congratulations! And you get a mug. Result.
I think you proved you should not have been on the slackers list.
Well done.
Having camped in the snow before, my feet are cold just thinking about it. Why? I wouldn’t, even for money. And if you’re setting pb’s now, I hope you’re not going to trounce me in Reading!
