Aberystwyth 10k 2011

Aberystwyth 10k 2011

So following a fantastic year of cycling, wedding planning and job rotation it was finally time to finish off the season with a bang. The Aber 10k is the perfect race to assess my year of running and with a quality field it usually pushes you to the max, and this year was no different. With the running shoes taking a gd hit over the last few months I was optimistic of a gd performance but knew i had to pace myself to get a strong finish. All 350 of us started off down plascrug avenue with rain clouds slowly making their way closer, I quickly hooked onto a pair of heels which would provide me with an excellent pace for the rest of the race. 5k gone i felt strong and was ready to push on and gain a few more places but knew that with 90 of football on the saturday that the legs would evetually call time. With a solid pace I felt strong enough to push on on the last 1km but did little to catch the pace of the runners in front. PB of 36min 56 sec. 
11th/340


The bike well and trully rested and ready to be picked up from Mach Holy Trail, new compact shimano 105 chainset on board ready for the spring commute.
