Run race ((street-O)) 46:19 [4] * 9.2 km (5:02 / km) +160m 4:38 / km
spiked:18/18c
Had a feeling this wasn't going to work too well when I was sufficiently tight getting up this morning not to be able to go forward downstairs first thing, something which was reinforced when my Achilles was in just-got-off-a-long-flight mode every time I got up from the desk during the day. That side of things, at least, sorted itself out during the warm-up (a slightly foreshortened one thanks to Metro), but it was apparent fairly quickly on the run that it wasn't going to happen tonight - no uphill power was the main issue.
Only picked up in the last 2km - I came into 5 20 metres or so behind Lanita, who I assumed was also on A if she was out that far at that time, and was chasing her for the rest of the course, not losing much ground but not gaining any either. I suspected I wasn't going to get her unless she made a mistake and the same 20 metres separated us at the finish - although it was of no relevance because it turned out she was on B (and had had a route-choice nightmare earlier on).
Maybe the distance is doing myself a bit of a disservice - as far as I can tell, Patrick ran an identical route to me but recorded 200 metres further.
Clearly something's not quite right. I had originally had something long in mind tomorrow but think I'll pass that up in the name of getting myself in the best shape possible for the weekend (of course I'll still be blown away, but I want to be as competitive as I can).
