Nice repo...Ewen doesn't mind a wager, does he.<br /><br />Nice report, you'll probably never pin down why you didn't do quite what you expected there. But don't worry could have been a number of things you have no control over. Just be happy to come out of that race uninjured and know that this race will play its part in your future great races.<br /><br />Onward Thomas.Samurai Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295160713705142193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-10623766124969932702010-03-22T08:50:14.974+00:002010-03-22T08:50:14.974+00:00Good to see you again Thomas.

Anyway, 65 is still good going, and a few sub-3 scalps shows you're in good shape.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-7426088903888373622010-03-21T23:37:21.084+00:002010-03-21T23:37:21.084+00:00Sub 630 pace is still impressive off your heavy tr...Sub 630 pace is still impressive off your heavy training and no speedwork.
