Third Kent League Race this season at New Barn Court Park Swanley with 2.00pm start. Lovely sunny mild afternnon, just felt like a Spring day. Did 4 mile warm up including strides and stretches. Started race well and went off quite hard, found my relative position quite quickly, had a Medway Man on my shoulder for the first lap but managed to pull away from him on the up hill section where I felt quite strong. About thirty yards ahead I could see the next VET from Tunbridge Wells and so worked hard around the second lap to close this distance down, finally caught him going up hill second time round. Went straight past and tried to keep pace going and create a gap but he was tucking in behind me roughly at the same pace. All the way round the last lap I was pushing on and only managed to get about a 10 yard gap in the last 200m.
Finished 15th overall and was 3rd Vet home behind Darrell Smith & Barry Royden. Please with position but a lot of people missing HOWEVER you can only race the people that are there. Miles splits as follows :- 5.34/6.00/5.51/6.11/5.49/6.04/1.21 Ave Pace 5.56. Pretty good going as course was quite soft and muddy in places.
