Wilmington 10k 2008

Last Sunday I ran the Wilmington 10k, this was the second time I had run this race so I was hoping for a better, but surprise surprise the weather was awful. It is October I suppose but even so horizontal rain does impede running somewhat, at least that is my excuse for a poor time!

Anyway after 46 and something minutes I discovered that they had slightly changed the course and included a soul destroying, leg sapping 400 metres slog around a school playing field, so cruel. By the time I'd finished panting my way round this final part of the course I ended up with a time of 47:08 and 97th out of 312 runners.

I think I ran slightly quicker then this, but I'm not going to quibble over a couple of seconds. Overall a pretty good result albeit 22 seconds slower then last year, I'm not sure where I lost those 22 seconds! My next race is the Chelmsford 10k, before my season finale the Santa Run at Greenwich Park.
