Sunday league - Trent Park

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Dropped Tairu to football and rushed to do the Sunday League at trent park. Added at least a couple of miles, because of running to the start and getting lost, and then running back via snakes lane to the car. This one turned out to be a "trail" race, although it's a cross country league. I went with my road flats which was perfect, there was only a tiny bit of grass, and it wasn't muddy at all. Trail shoes would have been overkill and spikes would have been a liability. Started as normal fairly fast, but it was clear straight away that the two leaders were on a crazy pace, sprinting the first few hundred and then messing about trying to make the other one set pace. I tried to keep even and stay with a st albans guy in 3rd, but he went clear and I settled in behind, and then got back up to him on the last lap by trying to stay with a trent park guy, they both then faded and I made it to 3rd, which was the best I could have done. Also my best ever result in one of these, I think. Not sure if I could have been a little faster if I had been more confident on the last lap. When I got the results I was shocked, I was only about 15secs off the 2nd place guy. Still not anything I could have done.
