October 22, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Mild, Dry

Comments:
I got up early, took Aji to parkrun and did registration. Then took Tairu to training and slept for an hour in the car on and off.
Drove to Fryent (30 mins easy) and was easily on time, about 50 mins before race. Warm-up was a bit sporadic, mainly walk jogged round a bit of the course to see if it was all as bone-dry and it was. Went with track spikes in my cross shoes and that was perfect, although a bit hard on the feet with the solid ground. We were sent off course on the first lap, but the organisers just adjusted the course from short long long, to long short, long so that was fine once we knew. I was with the group of about 10 or so from the start, but tailed off after the first mile on the "climb", then got passed by a few highgates, and swapped places a few times with a couple of others, and I ended up 14th, which I was quite happy with, although I did feel like I was a bit uneven and also didn't have anything at the end so lost a place I could have sprinted for.
