For what seemed to be slightly different reasons, SN and I toed the line on the track on Leverhulme Park at the start of this interesting little race. Although most of the distance was on tarmac, there were muddy rough tracks as well, and a fair proportion of the tarmac was on traffic free park paths. It included one decent hill and a few other minor undulations.
SN seemed to be there in pursuit of her Horwich Ladies Road Championship campaign, and I was there to try to regain the speed that I hope will eventually lead back to that now elusive sub 50 minute 10k.
We were both pleased with our performances, SN finished 153rd overall, third Horwich lady in 25:32, and I placed 139th, 4th V60 out of 8, in 24:45 ~ sub 50 minute 10k pace! SN pleased to have me in view throughout the race, and encouraged by shouts from Horwich supporters.
Marc Tillotson of BUH won the race in 15:46 and Maria Lowe of Astley and Tyldesley was first lady in 18:57. 219 finished.
