I do love a race day, and today is my first (non-parkrun) race of 2017!
It's time for the Lliswerry 8 in good old Newport South Wales. 8 miles of road running claiming to be the flattest race in the universe or something (been told it is pretty flat). Surprisingly tough race to get into, sold out in a few hours this year after a midnight opening and a minor runners world disaster. Not a huge race, field in the hundreds rather than thousands, but there's plenty of time for the larger races as the year goes on a bit (Cardiff Half Marathon I'm looking at you).
I can't really say I'm 100% in the mood, but I'll feel more up for it at the time.
Goals for the day:
Would be nice, but maybe beyond me today:
1:10:00 (8:45 min/ml)
Achievable:
1:15:00 (9:22 min/ml)
Baseline:
1:20:00 (10 min/ml)
Start time is a very late 11:30, no number or anything yet as it's a pick-up-on-the-day kind of deal.
Forecast... is pretty rough to be honest, it's raining now
