Running warm up/down 8:00 [3] 1.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Running race 17:39 [5] 3.1 mi (5:42 / mi) +100m 5:10 / mi
Well this was tough. 2.5k with 100m climb up, and back the same way. Two steep sections. Last 1.5k trail after a tarmac path. Would have liked to take in the views but was working too hard.
Didn't feel great leg wise, which was a shame, 1st was well gone, 16.5x, but 2nd and 3rd were in sight throughout.
Popular venue for such a tough course, def. in the top 5 toughest I've done but I guess the ultimate barometer is the finish time so the return leg rescues this one from being right up there.
10.05 up / 7.34 down, 4.49 last mile
Running warm up/down 13:00 [3] 1.5 mi (8:40 / mi)

Felt terrible to begin with but had perked up by the time it got dark.

Running 30:15 [3] 4.0 mi (7:34 / mi) +20m 7:27 / mi
Cold and windy on the way out, tailwind back
Moving better pace wise than it felt, which was very slow.
Running 56:00 [3] 7.7 mi (7:16 / mi) +100m 6:59 / mi
Got soaked back past uni, very unpleasant.

Running 29:20 [3] 4.0 mi (7:20 / mi)
Running warm up/down 16:00 [3] 2.0 mi (8:00 / mi) +40m 7:32 / mi
Running race 17:28 [5] 2.7 mi (6:28 / mi) +70m 5:59 / mi
Amazingly my records indicate the last time I did one of these was 2008!
Wasn't too up for it, wanted to enjoy it more than anything.
It was very cold on the moor.
Basically was steady for the first half and ran hard the second half, pulling through the field. Dragged Nathan along with me for the most part.
Potentially could have gone off harder but difficult as I am not a fast starter and the thousands of kids in front of me were! I ran 16.30 in 2007 but presumably in better conditions and more used to the event. That only got me 13th though.
Running 26:30 [2] 2.6 mi (10:12 / mi) +50m 9:37 / mi
Monday Apr 4, 2016 #
Running 28:50 [3] 4.0 mi (7:13 / mi)
Looking like a 5 lunch run week
Running 43:30 [3] 6.1 mi (7:08 / mi) +140m 6:39 / mi
Long slog up to 5 lane ends but rewarded with more downhill then I expected.
