Episode Notes
Today's episode is a recap of the Portaferry 10 mile race which I took part in for the very first time having had it on my list of races to do for a very long time.
The race did not disappoint with great weather, amazing scenery and a challenging course to boot. The support and organisation were superb and with a 2 x 5 mile relay option, it's a great race for everyone.
I talk about my race prep and how the race unfolded in real time, how pacing ended up being by effort rather than being a slave to the watch and how I managed to get my insulin and fuelling right for a distance I've barely ever raced.
