First race of the year and 8 runners turned up for the annual Club race of 2 laps round the Polaroid Industrial Estate, sunny and cool, perfect conditions.
Marking out the course before the race met the Heron again and 6 or 7 Mallard took flight across a sparkling river Leven as I ran along the bank. A few extra trees to cross this year and paths being closed in by bushes suggest less people are using them, oh and came off worst in an argument with a bramble bush, ouch.
Still no stopwatch so it was the HRM again, forgot to set the limits and had 38 minutes of beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Interesting to compare data from the same race 2 years ago when I was 7 weeks into a marathon training programme, 3 1/2 min slower this year with a HR 4 bpm higher.
