Finally a race where it rained, my last few races have been very warm. After being a bit disappointed at the Bella 5k last Sunday, getting a time of 18 minutes, I had decided to just do this race for the fun of it. Finding the registration was not easy, I found the start and finish of the race first. A churchgoer finally pointed me in the right direction. As the race started I realised I was in eighth place, which was further up the field than I had planned. I decided just to go for it and see what happened. It was a good route going round the harbour and beach area of Irvine. I held 8th place until after the 5k marker where I lost a couple of places and finished in 10th place with a time of 37.21. I was surprised but delighted with this as this was my first 10k in over a year. The winning time was 31.26. Well marshalled and accurately measured this year.
Thanks to Ian Hughes for the report and well done.
