Lenzie Jog 9k - 3rd, 29:51
Spotted this 'race' in the Po10 lists so as in the area and £1 to enter so why not.
Over 400 people turned up but there were 4.5k and 2k runs as well.
Big community event.
On start line, noticed Steph Twell to my right. Eeek!
Off we went, 2 lap course, after about half a mile in second well behind a guy in local club vest. 5:10 first mile. Too fast, again.
But guy in front starts to die after 10 mins spectaularly, if I went off too fast lord knows what he was doing.
End part of lap, a fair hill, and Twell and training partner bloke come alongside. Managed to hold on to them for the rest of the lap but they were too strong. So a lonely second lap fighting all the way round. Went through 5miles in 28:19 which is nothing special really, disappointing.
Chat with Twell at the end, really lovely person.
My dad had a far better run than me halfway through the field.
