I ran the Mince Pie Ten Mile in bright sunshine, and a slight wind, far better conditions than the weather forecast had offered. It;s a strange route, contrasting stretches with beautiful views with some rather dull sections through the bungalows of Peacehaven and Saltdean.
I was a little disappointed not to be faster; I had hoped to get a time of around 1:15. The gory details, according to my watch:
Time: 1:28:20
Distance: 10.16
Pace: 8.42 (best: 6.10)
This was my last race in 2006. My next target, on the way to an as-yet-unentered spring marathon, is the Sussex Beacon Half Marathon, in just under ten weeks time.
Latest news: the results are up. My official time was 1:28:16, so the Forerunner did not lie, and I was 163rd out of 291 runners.
