Hi LL, after long deliberation, Adele and I have decided to give Martlesham a miss this year. We are both doing the first of the Met League X/country series on Sat 12th so would end up not doing justice to one or the ther or possibly both. Good luck to you and anyone else doing it though, boring as hell but flat and due to being 4 laps, easy to gauge your finishing sprint.
Well a new PB did call, excellent course, I absolutely loved those 4 laps, what a brilliant idea, each lap only being 2.5kms made the race go so quickly, I managed to slaughter another 31 seconds off my time to come home in 38:44, which I am obviously well chuffed with
SlowButSure pulled out at the end of the 3rd lap as a precautionery measure, but should be fine for the Tiptree 10 mile next week.
I agree, I thought the course today was great, it did seem to make the race go a bit quicker with it being 4 laps. Unfortunately, did not get a PB, but was very pleased with 50:45 as I felt a performed well. Hubby (Fozzie) got a PB of 47.45, so congrats to him. Looking forward now to Tiptree next Sunday.
I logged on to see how you did. I wish I had been there, but I had a christening to attend in the end.
Aiming for Tiptree next week. Hope to see some of you.
Hope you enjoyed the World record NN. I'm sure there is a thread somewhere else on here talking about it, I'll look it up now. What an incredible run eh!
Thanks Tractor and PM, it was an excellent race, started about 6 secs per km too fast and so held back slightly until I was back in my target zone and then pushed on from 6km to the finish, the last km being the quickest of all as usual.
I know when I expect a PB, obviously I dont always know the course, and the weather can mess things up, but I have had a good year so far, and looking forward to getting a decent winters training behind me.

Congrats,

You've got a great atitude, "Another PB calling I believe". With an outlook like that the PB's will keep coming.
Great stuff!
