The Exterminator...

Yesterday morning i ran another competitive 10k race, this time at south devon college. This one was called the 'exterminator' and for good reason. First of all, it was a bloody hard race over some terrain that i didn't expect. Secondly, there was a fully functioning DALEK that started the race off!

It began downhill into stoke gabriel, and after having given blood the week before, i felt much better than i did at ivybridge- which was the day after i gave blood. So yeah, i started off really strong, because downhill really suits my running style. I was actually leading the 150 strong race for the first kilometere or so.

However, as fast as i was going, i was beginning to get worried. I was going awfully fast because of the downhill thing, but i really hoped there would not be too many hills. Boy, was i wrong.

the sad thing is i didn't realise that as far as you went downhill, i would have to run back up that distance at one point. So yeah, a good performance considering i started off too fast. Also, i got a free sports massage at the end!
