Clydebank 10k Road Race (more fun than last week)

What do you get if you add a pretty girl, a humid night and an Audi TT ? The correct answer (but not probably the one that first comes to mind) is last nights Clydebank 10k Road Race.

A little explanation is required – the pretty girl is Nicola (my dentist), it was a little humid, she does drive a really nice black TT and after Helensburgh last week we were going to run together to try and get her a new PB.

The race start was, as always, mad – confusion to exactly where the start was and confusion to had the clock started. The congestion remained until the industrial park where there was an opportunity to spread out a little. Going through 3km a quick pace check indicated that we were on target. Settling down, we were bang on time for under 45 minutes at the half way mark. Unfortunately around 7km we had to slow up a little but Nicola put in a fantastic last 1k to finish in just over 48 minutes.

As tends to happen with 10k races … no matter how sore it is at the time, recovery is quick. Disheartened about not achieving a new PB ? Nope – there is always Dumbarton next week or Kirkintilloch on the 24th June or ………….
