On a balmy summer evening a couple of GoodGym runners made their way to a Stag do to race over a mile. The Golden Stag is a yearly mile race at Finsbury Park track, open to all while at the same time a club championship. Where Peter lost his mile virginity the week before at Mile End track, for Mark this was the first time over a mile and first time on the track! With that in mind he might have been a bit conservative in his estimated time, showing in how he decimated the field in his heat, running away from the rest with a smile. he would have won the next (quicker rated) race and maybe even been on the podium another race up, so well he did to finish in 5m29! For Peter things didn't go that smooth, but a strong last lap saw him set a new PB and beat his target by 4 tenth, a 5m59! Tired but happy we watched some more racing and Mark collected his well deserved medal & trophy (mug).
all in all, a fun evening with great results, definitely worth repeating
