Only just noticed this blog option so trying it out.

I had a successful outing at the Bucks County Champs. A failrly small turnout meant I was in the same race as my son Marcus, drawn inside me in lane 6 and I had one runner targeting about 59 seconds in the lane outside me, everybody was inside but too quick for me to worry about.

Marcus overtook me fairly quickly but I managed to hold him on the back straight as well as keeping touch with Torsten outside me. I managed to edge past Torsten coming out of the bend but he managed to overhaul me just before the line, Marcus had opened a bit of a gap by then, but much smaller than I exepcted. That was the first hint that my time might be okay, but to get under 59 seconds for the first time was a great outcome.
