A very muddy race

Cosy. Then muddy.

10M - incl 10K London Cross Country championships in 34m51s

10K of muddy fun on Hampstead Heath! I felt fairly full of beans despite my heavy week. I think I managed to pace it OK, though I was struggling on the last of the 4 laps. I've still got some way to go before I've learnt to cope with the changes of rhythm. But I was better on the downhills today (more on the balls of my feet and lest scared). I had just about enough left in me to take a place in the finishing straight. Though I did nearly vom as a result.

I came 20th in the race and 6th of the Highgate guys. The team came 1st (and 4th - the B team)! Hip was perfect.
