Aztec fast 5km, winter series, race 1. Hmmmm.
Felt crap today, having spent 3 hours at a demo in town, which doesn't fully explain it.
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/100-pairs-of-shoes-ma... - but woken up feeling like I was getting a bug. This passed.....
Start felt relaxed, took it steady, pattering along fast, but easy. 3:34 at 1km - fine (astonished to find Mark next to me; he'd only two days earlier done the RAB MM!!!! Jeez.......!!!!). 3:35 at 2nd - fine. 3km 3:39 and then the wheels came off.
3:49 4th km (some uphill) - SHIT. that's slower than my 10km pace in June. FFS!
sort of ok for last .99km in 3:37, but dying left right & centre & my two Vet40 nemeses from B&W came past, and I had nothing.
Paul did 18:40 post injury, and Johnny 19:03; but major highlight was Ange's new pB of 21:03! I'm taking some of the credit for that....
2nd vet50, won beer, lick wounds, try to get back on track.
