Running - off road (Piercefield Park) 43:27 [3] 8.44 km (5:09 / km) +250m 4:29 / km
slept:4.0 shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Yellow2
Paul and Andy's night race from Chepstow racecourse.
Very sticky mud and not much grip probably helped me. But lack of balance and technique on long cambered section didn't. Realised 400m in that had forgotten to tape ankle so a little extra cautious.
Steady start, gained a few on first climb and through the bog, lost a load on the "technical" section - but even though it remained "technical" until the top seems my hill climbing came through stronger and had regained all the lost places by the top.
Nice fast fields down so held the place. Ran the first half of the pond but once waist deep found walk was better.
Ran up the steps but just fast walk muddy climb after - but had caught next group along and gained another 2 places in last 500 yards. A bit more of an uphill at the finish and I should have got the next 3.
Much more fun than I expected, and a reasonable run from me. Another win for Matt - 12s or so clear of Paul shows he's still in top form.
