Time/Position: 36.45 (70th from 900 [4th V50])
More or less the same time as the other two 10k's I've done this year. Not too surprising, really, as it isn't as if I've done any specific training - indeed, three weeks in the Highlands, two very long fell races and four days on Offa's Dyke can't be said to be good preparation for a fast, flat 10k! But I've always done this kind of thing, deliberately maximising the variety, and at least retain a bare minimum of road speed. It was also a very flat and fast new course (albeit hot again, although not as bad as last week) which helped maintain the minimum standard of 3.40/km pace. I first did this race in 2007, and ran exactly the same time as today aged 38 in 2008 although finished in the top 20 that year. It is a little more competitive these days.
