Cracking run in the Rotto 10km funrun. Pretty warm by the 10:30 start but the 32/38kp/h wind kept things cool. Busi as usual lead from start to finish. Simon Coates surged at 1.5km to catch the lead 5km group, but I maintained the gap from that point. The wind never quite went away and was fairly extreme on the hill leading out of Geordie bay. Tough finish up the hill into the settlement, and squeezing down the path past the 5k runners and then trying not to go A over T on the sharp right hander onto the gravel through the finish...
.I felt very good after the 27km run the day before, but needed a reasonable warmup to help my legs feel less like two sacks of potatoes from standing around and supporting the marathing for the preceding 4 hours.
Splits: 3:22/3:27/3:39/3:27/3:31/3:36/3:24/3:41/3:37/3:26
A few recovery runs now and then we fly to the US. Long Range forecast for the marathon is perfect. Not a good sign :-)
