Terrible! Chip time was over a minute slower so about same as Hastings, given the hills there in real world a lot worse.
No idea why either, didn’t feel as springy as Hastings but by this point my legs should just do it, pretty much wiped me out for the day after too which isn’t like me.
Piss poor! 😂
I think you are being way too hard on yourself here. Sounds like to me you may not have been 100% given the effect it had on your post race. I think there will always be times we won’t feel our best or hit our targets and what we need to then look at is how hard we tried. And from what you’ve said and the time you ran you kept trying, you didn’t let the fact you were feeling a bit sluggish get the better of you. And today’s run will have nudged your endurance up and your mental strength. So whilst the time might not be what you hoped, it’s a really beneficial run going forward. Age grading wise you would have hit 76%. One quick look at parkrun results yesterday show 76% was 5th female out of 170. So basically you are in the top 2-3% of female runners when age grading is factored in (and it should be). That said I understand we are all disappointed sometimes but don’t let that effect you going forward.
