Ashby 20

Ok with the Vienna night run in a few weeks, St. Wolfgangsee in just over a months time I thought it was about time to register for a UK race.

I heard good things from a few people about the Ashby-de-la-Zouch 20 miler or as it's correctly called the Ashby20. Anyways it's not until the 22nd of March but I thought I'd make sure I got my place. Guess what? I'm number 10! I was pretty shocked to find only 10 people had registered. But perhaps not. No doubt it's just the way the internet registration proccess works... well lets hope so!

I put a rough course into MapMyRun and was pretty shocked by the gradients. Oh well it's too late now. Incidently if you are interested and know the course please let me know where the start is. I hope I'm roughly right.

Tonights run at the Prater was pretty good. 10km in under 49mins which is quite fast for me. Luckily the temperature reduced this evening but it's still in the mid 20's. Vienna had great blue skies today. Sitting in the office was not great especially when a colleague headed off for a 100km bike ride at 4pm :( oh well two hours to go!
