Race: Chester half marathon
Time/Position: 1:22:37 (33rd from 2000)
My worst performance in any race for two years. Had high hopes for a big pb on my 6th running of this event, and set out at 5:50 pace which I sustained until 9-10 miles (the hill to Eccleston). I was comfortably on for my target time of 1:18, but then blew completely. Jogged the last three miles, almost walking pace. Genuinely surprised to blow up: I'd felt fine on the run up Famau on Friday, although perhaps was still feeling the effects of our frenetic climbing trip.
