A Big effort but a poor result

Well the 10K was pretty disappointing today.

I set off feeling good and managed the first couple of K's pain free, the weather was wet but not too windy so I wasn't battling too much. The pavement was pretty waterlogged and muddy and I had a little dodging to do at times as some of the puddles were pretty deep and I couldn't see the bottom of them - a dangerous thing to step into in case there is a hidden pothole there that could lead to a broken ankle.

I got into a really good rhythm early on and even had enough left for a sprint finish.

Alas all was in vain. The other half made a bit of an arse of timing me after he reset the stopwatch by accident so I had gaps in my split times, even so it was clear from the times recorded that I had taken over an hour to complete the 10K.

I came home covered in mud and feeling very low.

As it's a bank holiday tomorrow and there is no work or training I plan to kick back with a bottle of wine and some chocolate.
