Northern Road Relays in Hartlepool. Probably the most unexciting / painful course I have run on. Straight out and back along the promenade. The only saving grace was that it was a gorgeous day with hardly any wind - the sea was completely calm.
Started off hard, but felt that I wasn't in enough pain so pushed harder (convinced myself I was running at half marathon pace) and totally blew up on the last 2 miles which made it a really painful way to finish. Reasonably satisfied with the race.
Hallamshire A were 14th and B were 17th which were pretty solid results (69 teams in total) and both teams qualify for the Nationals.
