Running 40:00 [3]
Summer series 5k XC at Weston park, 17.26
Pretty tough course that I hadn't run before. Felt surprisingly good when I started and lead for the first k or so but then nick walshe came past me pretty strongly and I couldn't really follow him. The gap got to 20m pretty quickly but then it didn't get any bigger and after the turn coming back down through the long grass I started to gain on him and was on his shoulder with a k to go but really feeling it. I had pretty much resigned myself to just hanging in there when I nearly ran into the back of him and took that as my chance to go. Pushed as hard as I could for a few hundred m but the last bit was easier when I knew I had him. Another fun race.
