← Pieces of Eight and Bayside 10K
Firstly I should point out that this year the race formed the middle part of a long run and I timed it to arrive at the start just before gun went off and in reality I got there about four minutes before the race began so I missed anypre race stuff but having done the course in 2015 and 2016 I was confident I knew what I was doing. The water station was located at 5k/8k which was a little problematic as it was the point at which the 10K runners peel off but also where the 8 mile runners turn left on their return leg so it was somewhat chaotic. Other than that my only complaint was the lack of goody bag which has been present in previous years although that was an advantage for me as I still had around four miles to run to complete my target for the day. A nice medal as always from locally organised races.
