Day 311 - Winchester 10k

Sunday February 21st

It was raining when I woke up and I nearly didn't bother but glad I did.

Headed out and met up with Neil to run the Winchester 10k. In club colours officially for the first time but it's not a club race so doesn't count. Vowed to make it an easy run and relaxed for the first 2 miles, most uphill. As the race progressed I felt pretty strong so kept plugging away and ended up with 41 minutes, a PB. If I had known how good I would feel I would have gone for the sub 40 but in any case it was a timely boost to the confidence.

I came 50th on the day and 5th in the Men 40-44 age group. I've arrived on the scene!

I found out later that week that I made the back pages of the Hampshire Chronicle. Photo to follow
