Woke up at Jay's, had 1 hour prep time for shower and breakfast. Toast with jam and cereal. Jay got up at 7am to support. Drove to Preston, the race all in the countryside, beautiful looking. Started race running 5 minute 55 second miles. Kept this up for 5 miles. Two leaders went off, I was with the 2nd pack of 6 hunting them down. As mile 6 approached the legs started to feel heavy and I couldn't keep with the pack. Mile 11 is when the muscles really started to hurt and the pace dropped from 6 minute and 06 seconds miles.
A new Personal Best which was great to see, but I must increase the distance in trainings as I have the pace, but can't keep it up throughout the duration at the moment. When this is done, I will be able to go well under 1 hour 20.
