Racer Notes (26/07/2025 – Trent Park Handicap):
Ran strong despite humid conditions and lingering fatigue. Finished in 36:51.7, with an adjusted (handicap) time of 30:27.5, securing 2nd place overall. Significant personal improvement—shaved over 6% off previous handicap time. Maintained good form on flats, but slowed slightly on final hill climb. Encouraged by clubmates at finish. Continuing progress toward sub-30 goal. Working on pacing consistency and building strength in feet and calves.
