Arrived in Lincoln very early the car parking was well signposted so no problems the race was set to start at 11.00am so lining up in the sub 50 minutes section I waited for the start! Here was my first problem I got cold and then when the hooter went I set off too quickly. The route was pretty good with plenty of support. However I did my normal trick and needed a toilet break at about 7k this cost me a couple of minutes and any chance of beating my pb!
The finish was a bit rough as it was cobbled and I had nothing left for the sprint. But it was nice running past the Cathedral and finishing in the castle grounds. My time was a slightly disappointing 46.38.
Met up with my family which was a miracle as there were thousands of people around the finish and had a very nice fish & chip lunch. Which was while eating my lunch I discovered I had split both my trainers so yesterday I had a trip to the local outlet and got some new adidas running shoes at half price. I will be trying them out tonight for the first time with a steady five miles.
My next race is not until the 18th of April another new one at Belton House which I am looking forward too.
