Well I thought I'd start a little thread up for those who've raced this weekend (or are racing tomorrow on bank holiday monday) to let us know how they got on!
I raced a 5 miler today - a 2 lap multi terrain race that I really wasn't expecting. Entirely my fault for not paying enough attention to the race details but I was expecting a road race with some paths through Warwick University Campus at worst, instead it was 1/3 road, 1/3 grass/hard mud, and 1/3 sludge.
hard mud and road were fine, but as soon as I hit the sludge I was done for, I dread to think how much time I lost trying to stay upright! Anyway, enough about my problems in the race, it went fantastically well and I ran my @rse off. Despite the small field of 103 finishers, I was delighted with my finishing position of 9th in 30:47. :d
Hope everyone else had as productive a weekend
