Went into this race hoping for a PB. The race comes at the end of a recovery week which ended up including more recovery than planned thanks to the torrential rain so had no excuses not to go for it.

I had planned on going out for about a 34:30 but realised this may have been a little conservative once I got going as I felt great. Ran pretty much by feel though had to reign things in a bit a few times as I picked up the pace without realising it a few times. I blame the fact I was trying my hardest to keep up with and then pass the first lady, Lily Partridge, whilst at the same time trying not to kill myself.

Just after half way, and still hot on the heels of Lily, I passed the 3rd place male and kept going. I'd found a good pace and ticked over the kays. Pushed the final km a bit in a final bid to pip Lily but she had more in her legs than me and it didn't happen.

In the end I finished 4th overall and third male with a 30s PB.

Chuffed to bits and really looking forward to Comrades now.

Oh yes, and looking back over my splits - both 5k splits would have been PBs had they been their own races.
