Running 1:04:45 [3] 12.51 km (5:11 / km)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 9
Nice loop with a good amount of it off road and on trails. Variations of this will becomea staple, felt like I was miles from anywhere. Pretty muddy and wet in a few sections. I'm wanting new trail shoes but not sure if they'll be any good on the tarmac sections.
Cycling 1:00:05 [3] 23.14 km (2:36 / km)
Almost snuck under the hour! Really flagging on the hills, stopped near Sparsholt for some water which kind of helped. Lovely sunny day for it
Cycling 53:24 [3] 22.07 km (2:25 / km)
Still struggling on the hills! Felt fine on the flat and down sections.

22:59.4 watch and 23:00 official!
Somehow with a bit of luck and some skill nailed it! Found it quite stressful at times. Aim was to drop a bit of time on the hills and gain it on the down and flats. Had splits written down. Start was busy and the pace was a bit off with all the people around. Was about 10s down on the pace at the crossroads second lap, Peat and Isla were around and ran the rest of the way in with them. No big acceleration or stall on the line! Enjoyed it, helped a couple of people round to PBs.

Aim of the day was to enjoy the race and have a good day out. Post Eastleigh been feeling a bit tired and knocked out by the cold so wasn't feeling too quick. Been running again since Friday. Plan was to not worry about pace and just run on feel and race man to man! Predictably started a bit quick then settled down. Wind was pretty bad and it's not the quickest course (four 180 turns, a hill with turn at the end and a windy descent).
Had a fun battle on the final lap with a tall guy and the leading lady. Held them off for a while but they had more in their legs after the hill. Ran effectively the same time as last year but the course was a bit long! Eastleigh was the main goal so not disappointed. Had a really fun day out with beer and pizza after. Men's team also picked up the bronze medal, with James Shaun and Marko. They miscalculated so hopefully will receive it soon!
