I'm hoping it's just dress rehearsal nerves Karen. Silly though as I've done loads of races!
I think it could be done to the fact that I wanted to do a good 'un.

Trinity,
Do you mean Bedford or St Neots?

Steve
I meant Bedford... on 10th Dec

Well I'm not sure I'll be there Trinity but you never know.

All the best on Sunday Hammerite...maybe see you there

How did you get on yesterday Steve?

I managed 1h 44 32. Nothing amazing for me but quite happy as I was aiming for 8 min miles. Really enjoyed it. Just need to get back to the long runs to get back to my best.

From about 3 miles I was going backwards Hammerite.
I knew I was running with niggling injuries but left hip pain that I haven't suffered from for over a year came back to haunt me!
I got round in 1h 38 46 so not too bad I guess but some 6mins off my pb and 3mins slower than the hilly 1/2m I did in Keswick in April.

Great conditions though weren't they and all seem well organised.
I quite like the long sleeved T too.

Glad you did ok and enjoyed the run...shame we didn't meet up though I probably saw you come in as I was at the finish line for a while!

Here's to next year!!

Congrats to both of you.

Thanks Karen.

Yes conditions were pretty much perfect Steve. I didn't struggle all way round, only wavered a little at mile 10, but I think that was because of the recovery from mile 9 and the head wind. Recovered enough for a 7 min final mile, which was quite pleasing!
