Had the worst day at work of all time. Was doubtful to even compete until late afternoon but then organised a couple of conference calls after the race to ensure I could compete. The race wasn't great as a result but I shouldn't blame that on the result. Tucks ran 17:36 in finishing 3rd. Based on Saturday's race, that is what I was expecting but I ran 17:54 in 7th. Ben StL ran off the front leading a pack consisting of Jeremey Horne, Tucks, Charlie Low, Anthony, Dave Dreverman and me following from 2 km after Serg and Richard H fell off. I was the first to fall off, followed by Dave Dreverman. I was running by myself from 3km onwards, trying to catch Dave but just failed. I didn't feel as though I'd really pushed myself at the end though - probably as a result of running by myself for too long and not being pushed.
Great runs by Tucks and Athony and also by Richard H who is really returning to form in beating Ray. Serg is just full of guts.
Had a manic night of conference calls after the race (meaning I missed my night of glory on the stage) but great to catch of for a few beers with Hamburglar and InHisshadow afterwards in the LightBrigade...

Well done Tom. It's still a PB even if you did feel you could have done better.
What happened to the AAR team? Will you be off to NY again next year ?
And there's a photo of you to boot :

You forgot to click your heels together 3 times with those lovely red running shoes before the race though ...
Another PB for the week. Good stuff. I was that caught up at work I didn't get home until 8pm so I missed the race. Was hoping to sit at Darley Rd and take some photos.
Congrats on the run Tom and good to meet you.
Enjoy the summer break!
A great run Tom, and great to meet you after.
