Race report time. Clayton 10k completed in 37:41. Age Group win and close to 2 min faster than last year. Not quite sure how I managed that. The conditions on the night were far from ideal, with heavy rain throughout the day. It was dry during the race but with the start around a heavy grass field and a stretch of the course across trails that became quite muddy, I might be saying that I could have gone faster?!! But who knows.
The course is lumpy - as reported last year! I guess the Nike Alphafly shoes had a pet to play; they certainly feel fast and bouncy. This year I ended up running alongside - or behind - then in front - then behind etc with fellow NTC member Mark Hatton. He was fatigued from the previous day training with the NTC Chaingang crew. I’d rested to be fresh and it paid off. But in reality I’m not fast enough to be in the same league as Mark. In the end I was 2 seconds ahead at the finish and he’d pushed me hard - so thank you!
