Today's ten mile result highlights - not all that cold, very light drizzle if any, little wind, no officials, no km marks or other course markings, nothing. Thea's best ever run ever, well on target for a sub 1:40 half marathon soon. No casualties amongst the group after the sprints and surges we did in training last week.

This was a pathetic run from me, although certainly not my worst ever run ever, however everyone else was brilliant of course. On current (two weeks ago) form I should be able to run approximately 1:06.43 for this race. The fact that I had more pit stops during the run than I have ever had in all other races combined in a 45 year career is no excuse. Five pit stops! The good news is, I still felt better than I have on any day for the last two weeks.
Oh, I nearly forgot the 5k that was on at the same time.
