Running race 17:11 [5] 3.1 mi (5:33 / mi) +40m 5:20 / mi
Scunthorpe parkrun - 2nd, 17.11
Thought I was running a sensible race, but by the end of the first lap of two my reliance on the two guys in front of me to slow a bit wasn't being fulfilled.
Then the guy in 2nd stopped.
The he came flying past
Then stopped again
x 3
Obviously doing some sort of session, but it threw me somewhat and was in all reality a bit annoying, though I've considered doing something similar myself, but haven't, and I certainly won't be now
Anyway, guy in front was well away but with 4-500m to go when he pulled in for the last time I clocked I was on for a reasonable time given the bad wind and found some more to hold onto 2nd as he tried his final effort to catch me again. As I managed to speed up, slightly disappointed I was able to, to be honest.

Round Hill 'fell' race - 27th, 1:05xx
Not being far from home, in an area I should explore more, did this as a Sunday run, though had second thoughts on seeing the incesscent heavy rain when we set off for race.
Not a fell race at all, more of a trail race, only one steep hill which I ran up anyway.
Turned out to be very enjoyable, ran well within myself all the way round and just had fun. Picked it up slightly last mile.
Great race/course/area, recommended.
