| Stirling 10K
I woke up feeling strangely nervous about this race, don't know why as it wasn't like I was going to get lost! I calmed down when I saw Susan and Penny and used up some nervous energy on a wee warm up with Penny and Elle. It was all a bit close up and personal in the waiting area before the race as I was sandwiched between two blokes, thought I would extract myself as I was bound to slow at least one of them down when the race started. Elle and I set off together and were pretty close on the first 1K but I knew she would be faster so I settled down into my own pace. I missed the 2K marker but after 3K I knew I was on for a time close to my prediction based on my 3K time trial. It was just a case of running steady all the way, the scenery was pretty bland as the mist was down on the hills and the route was, dare I say, a bit boring. That didn't matter too much as I was keen to do it - my first 10K for 10 years and I took 12 minutes off my time! Huzzat! Splits: 4:48 10:25 1-3K 5:35 5:29 5:35 5:29 5:34 5:48 5:13 It was great to see all the FVO folk out supporting along the route - thanks guys and gals! | ||
