I did my second race (well technically third) on Sunday 20th November 2011..I did it quicker than the previous weeks 10k which is shocking as the previous weeks 10k was all flat course but this weeks was hilly and tough.
I almost quit before the first mile was over due to pain in my foot but I didn’t and I am glad I didn’t.
By mile 4 I was on target to drop at least 10 minutes from last weeks time but the last 2 miles of this race was very hilly and by this point I seemed to have zero energy so it’s getting obvious that at my current weight I need to take something with me to have before I get to the 4th mile to make sure I have some energy!
Mile 3 was fast and bouncy and it must of been the water they gave me as I literally had this massive energy boost and was bouncing along after that for a full mile and that was my fastest mile.
Glad to have finished to be honest!
