Chingford Cross Country League - Victoria Park - 06/02/2010 - 8KM
This is not a cross country race as it is run on paths around Victoria Park. Flat and fast.
Arrived in plenty of time and found the Trent Park base camp in the hall. Discussion about what to where as it was sunny but very cold.
Found a place in the middle of the pack where I could keep an eye on some of the people I am of similar pace to. Off we went and after 500m I had settled into a quick pace that I felt very comfortable with. Going along brilliantly not to bothered about the time or how far we had gone.
As we where about to complete the first lap my shoe lace came undone so I had to stop and do it up. After that I just could not get back on pace, breathing all over the place and just could not get back on track. I decided to stop to try and re-focus. This sort of worked but still not as good as the first half.
Finished down on where I should be but not tired at the end and nothing hurt, so no idea why I had some many problems.
Time 36:23
