Inc. drills and 1x90secs.

National Road Relays - final leg (4). Lots of call offs so senior team was 3 seniors and a W50 (Mum!). Team 15th overall which is pretty respectable.
Not the best prep with 2 time trials and then did a 3hour+ road rally last night with Dad not getting in until 2am which was actually 3am due to the clocks being kind enough to change! :(.

Tough race, more like a time trial. Not a fast course (tight and twisty with hills). With Dad's team heading out over 90secs ahead and the Gala vets team about 1min ahead. All uphill to start with and went out slightly harder than intended but not silly to try and get them in sight. Caught Kate (Gala vets team) after about 2km and had Dad in sight after about 4km. I knew I'd closed the gap to less than 1min and kept picking points and seeing how far behind I was slowly reeling him in (passing 5 women, 1 man in the process). Got the gap down to about 20secs but it was just too much.

Reasonably happy as 30secs down on my time from 2 years ago when I was really fit and ran 37:07 for 10km 2 weeks later. The course has changed slightly and I'm told it's tougher now as contains an extra hill.
