HDSRL - 4 - Richmond


The 4th race in the HDSRL series tonight. Travelled up from central Leeds with Steve W. Despite me being 30 mins late to our rendezvous point, we managed to get there in good time.

Even though there was a little rain and some strong winds, it was a very enjoyable but tough run. A hard climb at half-way (must have been 200m of ascent?) broke up the rhythm.

Got round the 5.5m course as third Harrier in 36.49, so not a bad effort. I've yet to work out if I've improved through the series. My performance largely feels that it is based on how tired I am when I run, which in turn is based on how much rest I've had beforehand.

Good turn-out from the Harriers again!

We are second in the male vets category for the series (which I count for) with one race to go. We also lie second in the Supervets (55+) and the ladies Vets.

I'm planning on resting tomorrow (Friday) and then doing a 2 hr cycle ride Saturday morning, and then a long road run (18 miles) on Sunday.
