Southern Mens League, Division 1, 5k (B String)
Another race report, not that it's going to make eventful reading, the stress of the last few days dulled my edge somewhat. I ran in the 5k, and the statistics read -1.5 Mile Warmup in new NB 832's

2nd A String - isolated or ridden for most of the race, felt knackered and unaware, also went off too hard.

The race went off severely quick, the Reading AC B String runner tracking their A String runner, Tom Bracegridle. In my over-zealousness, I initially tried to track them, but realised my folly after a mere 2 laps (clocked in 2:31 !!!). I seemed to spend the last 3k of the race holding on for dear life. At points I was being jockied by other runner's (fortunately from the A string, or the division 4 match), but most of them swept past me at 4k to drive for the finish. During the last 2k it was apparent that the Reading AC B string runner (who won the B-String race) had blown his tank, and I was catching him hand over fist. Going into the last lap the difference was less than 5 metres. However he found a sprint finish, I didn't. Feeling 80% efficient I basically matched my 5k PB, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can pull out when I am on top of my game!
[I did have stack's loads of brilliant shots of the meet for loads of events. Unfortunately like a complete tool I managed to delete them all before uploading them to my hard-drive. Doh!]
