Ally Pally Parkrun 1st
Wanted to try beat Tom's time from whenever he did the winter course here but never really felt like I was in that sort of shape. The winter course is a nicer, less muddy circuit. Though the hill is much worse ramping up after a shallow hill for ~500m or so.
Four people came with my initial surge off the line so decided to push on again which gave me one other about 10m back until the top of the 1st hill then slowly pulled away from him over the remaining 2.5laps. Put in a kick at the end to sneak it in under 18:00. Watch said 17:59.9 so I was happy enough with it.
Tom ran 17:35ish, so I'll have to come back and try again another time.
