Heddington Hill Climb

Not a great result to be honest! A little dissapointed.

Was a smashing lovely eve, beautiful and sunny, nice nip in the air to keep the runners cool. A few runners from the club; Tony, Simon, Amanda, nice-Dave, other-Dave, Paul, Steve (his young daughter ran too!), Nichola, plus Anthony & one other from Avon Valley Runners + Lara & myself.

Oh dear.

Not a great year personally for the Hill Climb then! My goal was to beat last year, but that plan will have to wait to 2011!

Think I came about 5th or 6th out of 15 or so.

Frustratingly, I'm sure I could have caught nice-Dave with a good kick at the end, but still thought we had another section to climb, then round a tight blind corner, there was the finish. Argh!
Note to myself: switch (the bloody) Garmin on to distance screen, and not time/H.R.
If I'd been monitoring my distance I would have known when to pop off a little boost & try my luck!

Both Lara and I were coughing our little lungs out at the top. That short sharp intense work does wonders clearing them out.
