Kirkstall Abbey 10k Road Race


We did it! One 10k race down, one to go...

It wasn't actually all that bad, we did feel a little intimidated upon our arrival with the hundreds of very sporty-looking types all warming up (much to our amusement), although we seemed to keep a fairly respectable pace for most of it (Jen and I were quite surprised to be overtaking a large number of people on the uphill sections, and then being overtaken by the same people on the downhill stretches). My (unofficial) time was 51 minutes 45 seconds, although official times should be available soon.

At least we have something to aim for next week...

Hey Mike,
Just to say good luck for the run - I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine as you seemed to have been pretty sensible with your training.
Perhaps we will do a race together sometime... I reckon you'll be doing a half marathon pretty soon and then it won't be long before you decide to do the big one!
Bisous et courage
Eloise xx
