This race started in drizzle and ended in blinding sunshine. I wasn’t really feeling it on the first incline (probably because I had extra running this week with my 10km training) so was surprised that I managed to come in sub 26 minutes. I tried out my new sleeveless running vest over the top of a running shirt and I felt like it helped a bit with the wind and was nice and non-rustling, though I did have to unzip it quite early as the high neck was annoying me (even though the zip has a cover).

I came in 71st out of 200, was 14th lady and 3rd in my age group.
