The Romsey 5

Fantastic morning, about 10 degrees, clear blue sky and no wind.
For the first time I can remember they stopped taking entrants on the day so the Kaputins missed out. Fortunately the other 20 Harriers got in and performed admirably.
PBs from Ian, DaveA and DaveK and great first runs from Thelma, Jean and Frances.

I was aiming for sub 31 and got pretty close with 31.04.
First mile 6.00, bit slower than planned, but fairly comfortable
Second in 6.21, feeling OK, but about 10 secs off pace
Third, 6.29, mostly uphill, again a bit off the pace
Fourth, 6.06, downhill, put please to keep the pace up
Final mile, 6.08 on the flat - pleased to keep going!
Overall I'm pretty pleased with that, well outside my PB or 30.09, but better than last year.

Now I can move on to some speed work in preparation for the British indoor at the end of February.
