The Battle of Sedgemoor 10k - 29 Aug 2004

Conditions: overcast, cool and breezy. The course: up, along then down possible PB?

No, seriously being fairly flat there was a chance of a good time, but I only reflected on this after the race.

The start was in the narrow thoroughfare of Langport 'High Street’ Runners packed the street wall to wall. The first 2k saw a gradual rise in the terrain and a little slow for me with the usual heart palpitations. As I felt more comfortable though my confidence grew.

The course crossed the pastures of the Somerset Levels with only the occasional sharp bridge crossing the winding rivers Parrett and Yeo.

With a downhill finish it was nice to see another small part of the English countryside - next stop Cambridgeshire!
