Mentally the handicap start wasn’t kind as this is the first time I’ve done this race. Started well and wasn’t worried about keeping up with the chap I started with (can’t remember his name) I knew I’d catch him later which I did comfortably. Slightly disappointed at how quick some of the later starters caught me up especially when Ashley Vora came past shortly after the halfway point. However, I was running my own race and although being overtaken by quite a few I still managed to pick off quite a few earlier starters myself. No Pb this time as 30 seconds outside my fastest this year but hey, that was only less than 10 seconds a mile so I’ll take that. Overall a really enjoyable evening.
Great stuff Andy. Love the feedback. Really pleased you got so much enjoyment from this race. Your splits were super consistent and you did the right thing letting the others tear off ahead and pick them off later. Ashley ran an amazing race and went very hard to halfway so I’m sure a lot of others felt the same when he went storming past. A really good time and well executed race. Those quicker times will come in better conditions.
