Border league, Christleton

Race: Christleton 9.5k (border league race 1)
Time/Position: 36:21 (44/289)

First short road race since April on Sunday: the first fixture in the 08-09 Border League season. As such, it was inevitably a shock to the system, and tough going, after a summer in the hills. Reasonably satisfied with 44th place, from a seemingly weaker than usual field of 289. A beautiful sunny day, though, for my second attempt at this nice rural Cheshire circuit. I'm definitely some way off the pace at the moment, maybe a minute or more off last year's 10k pace. Been back on the intervals for a few months now, but again generally a few seconds down. Ran up Famau last two Friday's, but in general fairly slack with the training.
