Nicky: Day 13 Langport 10k by knickerscat at Garmin Connect - Details
Woke up full of beans & looking forward to the 10k. Alfie marshalling so we got down to town early for his brief & for me to do late entry! Missed the online deadline.
Once both sorted had a coffee in a local cafe before heading for start line. Legs a little heavy so I decided 55mins would be acceptable & 53min would delight me. No chances of PB although a month ago that was my aim.
Started off fairly slowly - let Sue my sparring partner charge off with the quicker runners. Felt fine after the first hill out of town so settled into a steady pace picking runners off gradually. Caught up with Sue at the 7km mark & overtook her at 8.5k. Felt fab running down the road back into Langport. I had no idea of my time but Alf said I looked really strong as I ran past his marshall post. Coming into the home straight a couple of our club runners screamed at me to Run Run Run as I could make a sub 50min. Put foot as they say in South Africa & charged across the line in 49:58 - PB done!
Totally totally delighted and surprised!!!!!
