Running race (BOC Wharncliffe) 1:39:53 [3] *** 12.24 km (8:09 / km) +346m 7:09 / km
shoes: Oroc 340
Hard race. Possibly not the toughest BOC from a technical perspective, but the last third was very tough physically. Would have been a challenge for me anyway, but when the left calf became sore after 40 mins I knew that the Wharncliffe slope was going to be really hard.
Was the first starter, and felt as though I was bashing a route through a lot of undergrowth many times, especially as I lost speed towards the end. Quite hesitant - several times I had to stop to read the map (looking forward so much to 1:10 000 when I'm an M45 next year!), and a few bananas, but only 3 mins of errors according to winsplits (20% condition for mistake).
Got back to my parents for Sarah and Zoe in time to see City win the Cup, which eased the pain of the calf and shredded legs! :)
Congrats to Richard and Jon for their continuing their runs of fine results in the plethora in Brtish Champs we seem to have these days.
