Barry Richards 10K

Not very pleasant to start with as you probably noticed yourself 😂 but once we got off the seafront things definitely improved. I think the first 2 miles took a lot out of me and it took me the next 2 to recover a bit. I could hear Alice catching me on Cooden Drive and when she passed me that was what I needed to push that bit harder. I stayed just behind her until we got back on the seafront and then pushed up alongside her. We then pushed/pulled each other right through to the finish passing half a dozen others on the way. Not having run a hard 10 k for a little while I’m really pleased with my time and I know if the wind and rain had been kinder then I’d have definitely been under 50 minutes. Will wait to see what my time is as I ran a bit further to get the full 10k. Let’s see what Battle 10k brings next 🤞👍
