Berkeley 10k beer race, Berkeley, Glos: joined PQ for a evening race across the Severn Bridge. Fairly flat course, bit lumpy in places and bit windy, wasn't sure it would be pb territory myself but 'coach' PQ was never in doubt. Got off to a flier, in fact too fast, so had to ease back after 1k, though still went through 5k in 18.32, only a second outside by pb for that distance. Paid for it little in second 5k hanging on to do that in 19.23, but the effort in the first half was enough to secure a whopping 10k pb...yippee! Also, 17th overall, first male V50 and a bottle of wine to boot. Better still, another massive pb for PQ too....congratulations Wendy and thanks for the lift and encouragement, and for waiting for the old duffer's prize giving.
