The start of another month, where has the year gone so far?
AM: Easy run once round Lyminge, after earlier rain it has now cleared up and wind doesn't seem to be as strong today. I bet that changes later when we go down to the seafront for the relay trial! Left hamstring and right calf seemed tight to start with but eased off towards end of run.
Pace 8.00/ 8.06/ 8.01/ 8.16.
Distance: 4 miles. Time: 0:32:23. Pace: 8.07 m/m.
PM: Summer Relays Time Trials - Jogged from the club down to the old Rotunda site on Folkestone seafront and for once the the weather was very favourable for the this event with a light SW blowing into our faces on the way out. After good warm up we set off, I pushed on right from the start as I had last years time in mind as a target, up the first slope to the toll road and could here someone quite close behind so continued to push on, a brief relief down our hill rep hill before turning in Sandgate for return journey. At the turn could see Tom only about 5-10 yards behind, so really tried to dig in up hill rep hill but to no avail as I could hear him even closer behind. Eventually Tom got past me just before we turned back down onto the seafront. Tried to hold the distance between us over the last half mile but Tom was to strong for me and I just couldn't back to him. Finished with a time of 14:36 compared with 14:42 last year, but not sure if the start and finish points were in the same place. Everybody seemed to be pushing hard at the end to get a good time.
Pace: 5.46/ 5.51/ 2.58 = 14.36
Distance: 6.75 miles. Time: (Race 14:36). Pace: (Race 5.44 m/m)
