Whatever is the weather up to, when I entered this race weeks ago I had no idea it would such a glorious and hot day. It is almost October and 20 Centigrade. Despite the heat I thought I should give the race a go and try and to stick to my race plan for the first lap and see how I felt then. In fact the first mile went by too quickly and I was 30 seconds inside my plan, which goes to show how I have lost pace judgement while being away injured. The faster start did mean I was able to run free without needing to pass people who had decided to walk.
