That was a really good way of forcing me to run at a pace nice and steadily, I was wearing the flag so I felt i had extra responsibility but tried to stay on 8 min mile pace throughout, we ended up finishing as a group of pacers with all our runners having kicked on in the last 2 miles, we had a silly race between the four of us in the last hundred meters trying to bet each other, without catching anyone else!
