This event was at Tonbridge, a very nice complex.
Not my best 1500m time, 5:08.8. I was put in the second race, which is division 2. The race started quite slow and I thought this was the case as it felt comfortable. 85 sec first lap, 85 sec second lap, 83 sec third lap then finish 300m 56 secs. Mild evening with a bit of a breeze.
Build Up
I’d been away for a few days in the New Forest and only ran about 12 miles this week. I hadn’t eaten very healthily that week either.
