Wymondham Spring 10 mile and Spring 20 mile

2nd March 2008

 

I decided to enter this race as I've never run this distance before, so was guaranteed a PB, and also to get a long race in as part of my ironman training. I'm pretty familiar with Wymondham as I shopped there a lot when I lived at Mulbarton, but after the first mile I had no clue where I was, as we were running round country lanes and villages I've never seen or been to before. The first half was pretty easy as I was running with Mark Philo and Steve Rush and chatting. So it was just like a gentle training run with a strong headwind a lot of the time. During the second half we got split up, but I was fine until the last 3 miles, which were really hard work. The last mile was uphill along the old A11 to the traffic lights (including a cruel 100m dogleg !) then through a medical centre car park which was completely disorientating, such that I had no idea where I was or how far there was to go! It turned out 100m, but I was too tired to put in any kind of effort. All good fun though! Now I need to decide whether to enter the Bungay Marathon or leave this as my longest run!
