Interesting how being tired can affect my performance in a race. EtU’s prediction of 24:59 was a little out. I think the extra miles and harder sessions prior to the race this week certainly made a difference.

That said, I ran a much more even paced race. Party because this time I didn’t set off like Zebedee, much more like Brian (Magic Roundabout©). And partly due to realising (following a bit of research) that the 2k marker is in the wrong place. It should be tied to a tree about 100m further along the route.

The result, 9 secs faster than last time (25:41). First Salford LV from a healthy turn-out on the night. All in all, well worth the effort and certainly wasn't what I'd have predicted either.
