Lostock 6

Sunday morning saw me back in road racing mode for the Lostock 6.  These short races are never easy, no time to catch your breath and certainly no time to admire the scenery.

After a slow start (9 mins for the first mile)  the first of several hills came and went with little difficulty, as did all but the last, and steady progress resulted in a time just short of 51 mins,  only marginally slower than my last 10K at Brighton which by contrast was a very flat seafront course.

Average pace of 8.34 per mile was about 20 secs too slow for the O/70 prize so there is work to be done before the next road race, the Fleet half marathon in three weeks time.

Congratulations to Mary on her excellent run in just under 49 mins.
