19 years since I won this event in 1992 I managed to win again!!!!!
It was a nice sunny warm morning with a slight breeze, I did a 3 mile warm up with some dynamic stretches and strides and then was ready to go. Starting in Dental Street , we had a fast 400m start before dropping down into the High Street for the first time, past the fast starters just before the downhill and took the lead and ran the whole race from the front, must have pulled gradually away as I could not hear anyone just behind, its funy the thoughts that go through your head when you are in the lead. You keep thinking that you are going to run out of steam and get passed just before the line, but thankfully that did not happen. In the end after 4.5 laps I had about 100m on Dave G who finished runners up. Splits were 5.09 / 5.30 / 5.38 / 4.00 being 3.73 long. Did half a lap warm down with Lucy who did really well and got a trophy for being third senior lady. Not a bad Family day out!!!!!
