This is me getting caught by Andy Hudson just before the finish of the final PECO cross country at Esholt. My running style looks better than his, though to be fair I’ve gone round the cunningly placed tree stump while he’s leapt over it. You’d have to be pretty unaware to trip over this particular tree stump, but they’d dotted a few smaller ones around the course, particularly where you couldn’t see properly because the sun was in your eyes. Still, I managed to get round unscathed and it was good to be running at something that felt faster than marathon pace.
It was also good to lose several layers of clothing. I’ve been running with three layers up top and two layers down below, but managed to lose a layer off each for this race. It was just a bit too cold to give up the T shirt though. Also good to get a run where I’m not carrying a drink which is also getting a bit wearing.
Bring on the Bradford 10k. Maybe I can crack the forty minute barrier this time. This will be my last race before the marathon so I want to give it my best shot as the training is now getting tiresome.
