NoHo x-country 5K, take 3 -- Tue. July 24

Plenty muggy, and a slightly lower turnout than last week--Ivan and Colin both there, but the chap who beat me the last two times wasn't there, so I chased the older, short, quick-stepped guy; he took off much earlier than I thought he would, and following him I lost one place at about mile 2, then two more (high-school kid team) at about 2.5, and though I chased at the end, that hilly bit just wiped me out. It's a tough course, for sure!

Time: 20:12
Speed: 9.2 mph ?
Distance: 3.1 miles

Comment: no NoHo run next week cos of camping, so back to distance running exclusively for a bit.

UPDATE -- the results have finally appeared online, and they have me down as 6 secs quicker than I thought. The two lads who pipped me by 2 secs (actually they were comfortable and I was pushing it) are 14 and 16. Ah youth!
