Still hyper from yesterday. Haven't had a decent run since last May. Here is an insight as to how knocky's mind works.
I went in ready to race but at the start Caroline Wood laughingly said are you ready to battle Mark (her husband). Two things wrong there. I ran in the same House as Mark at school from 1971 and do not consider him a close competitor. Secondly she was dismissing me from being able to run near her. A Challenge! So of we set and I did not tuck in behind anyone but gave it 99.9%. Wind? What wind? End result stayed in front of Caroline for last 2 miles and pulled away in the run in. That hasn't happened since 2009. A very happy 4th in Arena men's AG race.
The moral of the story is please wind me up before a race......... or you could say don't race chicks who are tired from winning UK Masters 3000m at Lea Valley indoor track 6 days before. Oh and Mark came in 2 minutes behind.
