Littleborough 5k - 1st, 16.46
Grim, cold wet conditions but you gotta get on with it
Enjoyed this, hit the front fairly early but didn't push too much, knowing there was a big hill to come halfway round (having seen the bottom of it when doing Watergrove parkrun the other day)
Level crossing barriers were down at Smithy Bridge which wasn't something I had considered, so had to use underpass and steps which slowed me somewhat just at the wrong time, at the bottom of the hill.
Managed to get it up it all right and at the final turn for home down the hill could see that I had a big lead and so pushed hard for home whilst trying to get my leg turnover going all the way down the hill
A nice win, with the added bonus I certainly felt there was more in the tank.
