Bearbrook 10K
After a 2 year layoff, I'm looking forward to racing again on one of my old training courses.
Anyone else up for this very popular 1oK?

A good surprisingly fast race !
It went well. Jade my step daughter picked up first in the u17 cat.
And Sharon was happy to get under the hour in her comeback race.

Runners get too hung up on race preperation....top up with water the day before, pasta and an early night....My answer is a few pints of the black stuff the night before, with a fried egg sandwich 2 hours before the race. Got to be honest though, cannot see too many professionals catching on to your race prep.....
It's not a prep i'd recomend.
I wasn't even sure if I was going to run it the day before. I told Tigeress I would see her there if I managed to get up. I woke at 7.30, And thought wot the hell, lets give it a go. So I rang Tigeress and she got me the last entry in the race. I was having a nice steady run with her to the bottom of the hill, when she said " go on Clive" . I didn't need to be told twice.
Did you see the euro 10k. What a great race. I had to laugh at the interview afterwards when Chris asked," can I have a beer? " And was told," No you've got to get ready for the 5k.
I did see the race, even the professionals crave a beer, only now am I wishing I took my training more seriously....
I did a couple of the Solomon trial races, which generally have some elite off road runners competing. As I crossed the line they were there with their recovery drinks and bars, me, there was a chip van....need I say more.
Was thinking about running the race. Does anyone know whether you get a medal at the end?
I've just spoken to a race offical, and this years momento is a shoe bag. Sorry, but no meddle. I've seen a shoe bag from an earlier race and it was a good momento and it's always nice to have somewhere to put your muddy trainers after a run.
There are still places at the moment.
Nice race, though it did warm up a bit. Happy with my time (37.53), slowly getting 10k times down. A big thanks to the organisers and marshals.
How did you all do....??
I did really well, thanks - I got 1,874 photos!! I'll be back to let you know when they're on line
Hope you guys all enjoyed the race. Was gutted not to take part as was marshalling along with the rest of the club.
Any feedback is always well received. Off to check the events ratings.....
How did you fair cyberwebjaws?

I was thrilled to get a sub60 (just) - at last.
Thank you Bearbrook / Up&Running, and of course, RichK.

I had a good race. The first mile was faster than I had planed but it felt good. It took longer to get up the hill than I had expected. But I was glad to hold off a group of runners in a sprint finish. I found it hard but was happy to finish in 51.15. official time 51.42. I started my watch as I crossed the start line.
It was nice to see and have a chat with some old running pals from Bearbrook. A big thanks to the organisers and marshalls, for once again putting on a great race.
Rich k, I look forward to seeing the photos.
