Past Races
| Tadley 10k, Tadley | 17/07/2005 |
| 10k, Road | |
| 1st Reading Roadrunner, 4th Overall. 75 degrees F plus, breezy day and lumpy course. Felt pretty good despite having fallen over and bruising myself massively 2 days prior on training run. Got dehydrated as I didn't take water. Mike Bradfield outsurged me to the line (made break at 9k) & got outsprinted in last 20 yards by A. N. Other. I shouldn't have made the pace for majority of the race. Backed off training for 2 days before race but no major drop in mileage of density of sessions. | |

| 2nd B String. Temperature mild to warm, mild winds. Too fast a start, got jockied then isolated. Felt knackered from stressfull build up (job interview plus stacks of driving). Good performance given how I felt. | |

| 10k, Road | |
