Yateley 10K report
![[Deleted User]](https://wf.vanillicon.com/f19d11b7d9fca5bbebc53669bbbf2a05_100.png)
The Yateley series managed to finish with a bang as for the third time in the series it rained, this time in bucket loads. It waited for us all to line up at the start and then stopped forty minutes later after a nice lightning show. The rain was ankle deep is places and the finishing line was mostly underwater.
I managed to meet up with Dustin and at some detrement to his own time he stayed with me for 8k. The course is slightly undulating but generally easy.
Dustin finished in around 43:15 and BlueKnees in 43:52, a PB.
Many thanks to Dustin for his personal sacrifice, it was a pleasure to meet you.
Apologies to those that ran this race and I didn't get to meet.

Cheers, V-rap.
Well done guys - doing times I can only dream about!!
How's the running going Fraggle?
Laura L, which Asda? You had me worried because there is indeed an Asda with a roundabout near me
mm
I've never run in anything like it. Perhaps Paula Radcliffe was right about running in the rain and more oxygen
Fraggle - I'll find out if the training course caters for all speeds. If it involves speed work then I would be interested. I like meeting people so don't count me out
Slowmo - We all have good and bad races. My last two races were awful. Stick at it
As mentioned elsewhere I was thinking about beating the pb of 42.03 but after Sundays trail race (different post) the legs have remained achey all week so in a 'get the excuses in early' style I decided to run steay and see how I felt towards the later stages.
Fortunately met up with BK and after taking in the first Km in less than 4 minutes we adopted a puddle avoiding steady run technique until my shoelace slipped undone at around 7km.(Some going with a triple knot).
Caught up with BK again , and decided to swim in the last 2k and finish in around 43.13 , a time I would have accepted beforehand. I will run sub 42 this year (I hope) but perhaps when the elements are more kindly.
Just off to put the Asics in the tumble drier - again!
Good to see you BK and congrats again on the pb!
sorry you didn't have a good race. Don't let it put you off, it happens to us all at times. I've had a few myself this year, just put it down to experience and focus for the next one. Good luck and happy running!
PS Slowmo - I've had some mares in the past but who cares, you have to stick with it.
