PM: Here we are again at Samphire Hoe the second night in a row. However tonight although a bit misty to start with the wind had died right down since yesterday and so really perfect conditions for running in. Went out and did a lap of the course as a warm up before doing a few drills and strides. Numbers were slightly down probably due to relay being there the night before but a small friendly crowd amassed for the start. I went straight into the lead and was aware of Warren from Ashford on my should for about the first 2km, as we went round the cone at the Dover end we double back on ourselves and could see the rest of the race behind us, it all looked very close between Tim, Dave S and Kevin so was hoping they would pull each other round to good times. It was a long slog all the way along the apron, last time did the 1st mile in 5'10 which was too fast so held back a little and went through it in 5'18 then the second mile took us up the small hill on the gravelly rutted path so pace naturally dropped a little to 5'55 last mile and a bit were down hill and flat so really tried to push hard as desperately wanted to get under 18 mins, it paid off with a finishing time of 17:54 phew and first position. Club did really well Rona 1st Lady, Dave S 1st V50, Mens Team 1st & Ladies Team 1st. Plus a new PB for Tim. So prizes all round!!
