Usually my favourite race to run at the start of the New year and having woken up feeling poorly and shivery with a challenging course incorporated 174 steps x2 probably not the best place to fight for a time. Gutted with my performance and on the 2nd lap wanting to pull out but gritted my teeth and felt as though I was running backwards. For the first time in 3 years I lost my finish place and finished as a defeated 3rd, I knew i wasnt right as the idea of doing more miles and running home I just wanted to get back. Fabulous local race and well organised.
