2010, January: the road to Molly Malone's

Good luck with getting over this strain quickly EG.

Regarding race strategy I would always advise being agressive in the first half of a race. I think it's been proved by sports scientists that if you go out faster than you're comfortable with your body will cope better than you expect in the closing stages and bring you home in a faster time.

Well, it's a fine line I know; and getting the balance right is not easy and can result in some uncomfortable and long-drawn-out finishes. But if you're after pbs and feel right on the day I reckon that's the way you have to play it.
