Returning from Barcelona

It has been a really busy week in Barcelona after the half marathon with the Mobile World Congress and the need to find myself a new job. I felt pretty good on Monday morning, but the combination of walking endlessly around the exhibitions and networking parties where I stood up for hours took their toll over the week and I have only just managed a 5 miler on Wednesday morning and a 6.5 mile run this morning (Friday).

I have been so pleased with my run on Sundays as I managed a proper negative split and competed the second 10km significantly faster than the first. The website provides splits at 5, 10, 15 & 20 km and I did the second 10km in just 43.09 about the same speed as I ran the towpath 10km last summer. The results also show how I overtook people throughout the race, moving from around 2500th to 1500th.

Anyhow, I'm heading back to the UK this evening. I have orienteering on Sunday at the welsh championships and then Bath half marathon the week after. Better decide which race I will do in April.
