Holt Park Urban - 2nd, 16.56 (Dave 16.50)
A valuable lesson tonight.
Well planned course, and was well on top of it for the first half, the long legs 3-4-5-6 allowed me to plan ahead and put the foot down as well
When watch bleeped with a 6.18 mile approaching #8, I thought, decent, that should do it, and so when I started to feel tired I didn't really push on at all, being complacent probably thinking the pace I ran was already enough.
This, combined with being distracted by catching others, and two slight mistakes (shoddy route to #15, wrong wall at #19), allowed a clean run from Dave to take the win.
So, don't overcook the long legs (looking at Sunday's course lengths that could be key) and don't be complacent. Bit disappointed I didn't push myself, maybe last night's track took its toll.
