Running

Yeah, a good day for our club, somewhat dampened by a farce of a finish in the men's race, where all but the first three teams were made to have all their final leg runners start in a mass-start, before the medals had even been contested. We (our A team) were pretty near the front and spectators getting excited out on course, only for the trickle of runners to dry up and leaving us scratching our heads. Once they'd carried on with the debacle and added up times (for the 11-leg relay plus time-trial!) we were 6th overall. And our B team (ably led off on first leg by @juanito) finished 31st overall, and 2nd B team after Bristol. Our best B team result. I was happy with my long leg of 28:53 for 5.3 rather undulating miles, fastest long leg of the team and not too far behind some of the A team legs. And we completed our first women's team in National relays, 21st in a field of 48 teams. MsPub ran 8th fastest long leg of the day, coming back nicely from injury. Oh, and our superstar Alex Yee ran sub-25 for easily the fastest long leg of the day, one of the all-time fastest runs in the event. Amazing to watch!

@dubkev - Sub-20 easily doable. It'll come with increased mileage; your current 5k pace will become your comfortable 10k pace, and you'll really get to feel how much you can push yourself over the shorter distance.
