Race Day Preview - The Loop 10k

I love hills...

Well I don't think I do but considering the events I plan/enter, there must be a part of me somewhere deep inside that does.

This Sunday I will be in Barry Sidings, which is nowhere near Barry, running the Loop 10k for the 2nd time.

Last year it was by big reintroduction from an injury and I ran a testing course in 61 minutes and change. I hope to go better this year as while I've had a bit of a niggle over the last week, I'm in moderate/decent shape.

I'm signing up on the day, so lack a race number yet...



Also I will have 1 in the kids 100m, and 1 in the next age group up 1k. They were both drilled today and will make it to the end at least!

So tomorrow, targets are:

Baseline:  1:00:00 - it'll be tough, but I still hope to keep it under and hour

Achievable: 58:00 - 3 mins under last year, as long as I grow a set on the downhill I think I can get here 


Would be nice, but maybe beyond me this time: 55:00, I think it's too tough and I'll be too nervous on the knee but this is supposed to be slightly beyond me so...


The fun starts at 10am! Ponty rodents usually put on a good race so I've every confidence, now if they could arrange cloud/slight drizzle maybe?
