Bath Hilly Half today. Not sure where I placed, would be happy with 50th
I went our way too fast and did the exciting single track descent with the lead pack. Then I had a word with myself. I’m in my 50s I’m not a superhero. So I chilled out and spent the next hour and a half getting overtaken.
It’s my third fastest time but only a couple of minutes slower than my previous run 6 years ago.
So yeah 1:55 with 500+m of elevation is still ok.
Also absolutely spanked my kids’ teacher who is regarded as the Healthy Fit Dreamboat.
On the downside experienced brutal post-race stomach cramps and violent liquid shit. Never had that before.
