Self-Transcendence 3x1 mile relay - 1 mile / 1.61 km, 6'20'' (team time 18'47'')

Tonight I joined in a 3x1 mile relay race with the London Frontrunners.  I was on the London Frontrunners F Team with Simon and Chris and I ran the second of the three legs.  I had never run a mile at speed before so didn't know how to pace myself for the distance.  I think I set off too fast because I know I was finding it really tough towards the end - the finish line seemed like it was miles away!  I also could feel a bit of niggly knee pain, the same as the one I got towards the end of the half-marathon.  I made it to the end though without overdoing it and helped our team to a time of 18'47'', with my individual lap being 6 minutes 20 seconds.  I have another one of these races to come in a few weeks, hopefully I'll have a better awareness of the pacing by then.
