 | Running race 55:58 [5]10.0 mi (5:36 / mi) vdot: 63.2 | |
| |
| It was Ant Squire's 30th birthday and being the birthday boy he got to choose what he wanted to do....which turned out to be a 10 mile road race. Finished it in just under 56 minutes which I was satisfied with especially because I had to stop for a "Paula" at about the 7 mile mark and he had a couple of biggish climbs. Weather was really hot and I was left with a really attractive vest tan mark.
There were loads of drink points and I was really rubbish at grabbing cups and drinking from them. |
 | Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] | |

| Easy warm up and a bit of a hobble to the finish - heel sore again. |
