Temperatures down from 20 degrees to 2 plus wind chill, welcome to the start of the spring mid week racing season!
With hat, gloves and long sleeve helly thermal I ventured over to Chester for this fast flattish five miler. As race two of the Cheshire Grand Prix series no-one particularly at the front was hanging about once the gun went. If only to keep warm is the gusting freezing weather!
With little speed work over the last six weeeks I went off reasonably hard and ran the first two slightly downhill miles in 13 22 but really paid for this on the climb back to the finish in 35 minutes dead.
Given that my legs were still heavy from the last week of running (including a nine mile teggs to shutlingsloe club run the day after the mow cop race!) I was reasonably pleased, and scored good points in the club road champs as well.
