Notes & Comments

Bedford Harriers 10k!

Position 7th. Time 35.58

Well I made it under 36 mins, but only just and I was hanging on by the skin of my teeth, I decide before the event that I was going to go off hard and hang on, something I don't normally do but thought i'd try and mix it up a little to see where my strengths and weaknesses lie!

I'm always telling people even splits, now I know why!
And I can't belive I was only past by one person, who beat me by 3 secs to the V35 prize, damn! I guess if you do go off hard people have still got to catch you!

Splits:

5.34
5.36
5.37
5.48
5.54
5.58
Last bit 1.21

Not sure what halfway split was but it won't be pretty reading. Also ran out of steam, might be lack of any longer running, still this will be last 10K till Ely NYE.

Nice to share a lift with Plodding donkey and a good solid run by him and CB, better team effort by C&C today. Thanks guys always better to race as a team!

worth a try Alan, but it is a hard way to run a race. I have tried it a few times, and it doesn't work for me, and from the number of poeple I catch in races, it doesn't work for them either! I am quite happy for poeple to knacker themselves out in the first few miles:)

Lesson learned John, back to even pacing for me from now on. I guess you have to push that comfort zone sometimes! I think without the 5k race and even splits I could have been faster.

Good run buddy - never nice slowing towards the end of a race but nothing ventured, nothing gained and all good experience. I am sure you will be a lot quicker by NYE 10k.

Cheers guys and thanks Matt!
I hope so Ed, I hope so, it will have to be a seriously decent winter for a change but I'm up for it!
DC see you at the track on the 24th I hope, one final blast to end the season!

Nice race bud, not far off a pb and you didn't slow that much there
Please wait... saving your change.
