    Jaysus it was Baltic up there today.
    Haven't ran this event in a few years, was very surprised to see how far the numbers have dropped.

    It's my third year running this. I really enjoyed today and the change in route.

    Twas tough at the start - so bitterly cold. Knocked a minute and a half off my PB so was thrilled with that.

    First of all how cold was it with that wind before the start. Think it took me to bout 3km to warm up

    Change of route was good, and the 1 climb wasn't to bad

    Set out looking to run 51-52 minutes, but did 50.02, and got a pb by 25 seconds so delighted with that

    It's a funny old game this running lark, entered this ages ago and hadn't done a tap in almost 8 weeks, cycled up to the start area and walked up to the start line, not a sniff of a warm up.
    I was thinking sub 50 would be a decent time for trotting around and ended up knocking out a 44 min 10k.
    Answers on a postcard please. :)

    My god it was freezing. Very well run, i stayed with the 60 min pacer for the majority of the run and he was great. Loads of encouragement and tips. Is there somewhere to view the finish line videos?

    Wow, how unflattering. I'm like a duck waddling to the line.

    I know, it's like the first time hearing your recorded voice, "I don't sound like that! :eek:"

    Christ that was cold. Enjoyed the run. 1 minute PB of 36.17. Pretty chuffed with that given the challenging course and conditions. Got out of there quick as the kids were absolutely frozen.

    1 gripe...I really wish they would arrange the start better. I was not running for a club. When I went to the front of the green coral it's a bit **** to see many slower runners ahead of you. I actually skipped under and ran with club runners. Apart from that it was great.

    It's the national championship, and championship places are decided on gun time not chip time. So all of the club runners have to be up the front.

    I think the gripe is more to do with the pens behind the club runners.

    I was in the 55-65 pen, and ended up coming up behind walkers 4 times on Chesterfield Ave.

    Some races colour code the bibs based on the expected time input at entry - certainly helps in putting people into the correct starting positions (obviously doesn't help eliminate those who put the wrong expected time into the form though)

    I was in the 46-55 pen and I was passing walkers up to 2km in to the race.

    I know there's nothing the organisers do about it, it's down to the people taking part. Unfortunately it happens in a lot of 10km races
