Nigel Barge 10k

Results | Activity on Garmin Connect

Having run the Glasgow Parkrun 5k a few hours earlier, I wasn't really planning on running the Nigel Barge 10k. My original plan had been to take a few photos, however seeing as the light was pretty dull and there didn't seem to be that many folk about, I thought I might as well run the 10k as a bit of extra marathon training, and figured I could jog round in 37 minutes or so.

I tried to start slowly, but went through the first kilometre in 3:23, which was a bit too fast. I dropped 7 or 8 places during the first lap, and coming into Lap 2 I was caught and passed by Michael Diver. I then followed Michael until the return into Garscube where I just caught him again before the line. I finished the race in 36:28.

My first road race of 2009, and first road race in ages. Thought I would hold on for 11th place, but faded on the 2nd lap and dropped back to 14th in 35:58. A bit slower than last year, but the course was slightly more twisty and I was much less road fit.

Had a right good battle with Euan MacKay and Helen Stuart the whole way round. Robert Rogerson snuck alongside with 2km to go - on the scenic road past the Dawsholm Recycling Centre. Somehow I managed to dig deep enough for the climb back up to Maryhill Road and final slog along to to Kelvin Campus. Finished 23rd in 36:20. Helen was first lady in 36:43. The race was won by Chris Mackay of Greenock Glenpark in a very fast time of 30:45.

Still feeling totally wasted with this chest infection. No energy whatsoever and got overtaken the entire race. Apart from that was OK.
Pretty cold but not windy. The route was changed due to on-going roadworks near the new Kelvindale train station. Rather than going anywhere near Cleveden hill the route instead did two anti-clockwise loops around Garscube and Dawsholm.
