Running race 19:34 [5] 3.4 mi (5:45 / mi)
Chester "Round the Walls" Race, 7th - 19:xx
Except due to Ice, it wasn't round the walls, it was once round the racecourse, turn round, go back to the start, x2. Boring. Happy birthday to me.
Set off feeling very easy over frozen ground, feeling great, moved up to 3rd after a mile. Turned, into mud and uneven ground, it started to hurt and I lost 2 places quickly, then a third, and a fourth. Stayed in 7th from 2 miles to the finish. Dug in hard but it was a strange race as the first mile was 5:15 and the rest was at 5:5x pace. Did not enjoy slogging in out XC style. Ah well.
