Road Race race (Manchester) 37:23 [5] 4.75 mi (7:52 / mi)
Snow overnight, but roads cleared ok. Got Kenny's pass to the front of the start, but hardly did any justice to it. Nice to be at the front of 10,000 runners.
First mile ok, pushed a steady pace up the hill for mile two, then started to develop a knot in my left hamstring on the way down. Tried to push after the 3 mile mark and leg totally cramped. Think this was the same muscle tear from last spring's Billygoat. Kept moving, but dropped the pace a lot and was happy to just finish.
7.18 / 9.02 / 7.29 / 7.48 / 5.44
Ready for the therapy pool.
Dan had a great time again this year at 28:45!
