2012 I did it in 81minutes - today I did it in 73mins. 8mins quicker - I'll have to ask Coach Ant how big an improvement that actually is.
Would have been abit quicker but spent couple of mins checking a fellow runner who'd totally blown up - had a mare of a time with his pacing - had thrown up and was lying on the ground. Asked what else I could do to help - to tell his wife Petra that he was fine as she was waiting for him about 5mins ahead. Spent a minute or so telling her he was fine then headed off for the last bit.
It's a great feeling - knowing that you've just run 10k. Left knee bit tender - did more walking than I'd of liked and I wasn't absolutly knackered. Must sort this out because it's obvious I can run faster if not for niggling pain at about 50mins (approx 8k).
I really felt like I was middle of the pack but looks like I was again in the last 30 or so. We've all got better since last year!!
Weather was great - sunny and clear - instead of wind and rain which had been on the cards for awhile. Debs and the girls did the fun run and we met a few other ashtead chums which made the event even more fun.
Will def be doing it again next year. Plus it was so amazing to run in my club shirt!
