Robin Fiander 51:28 51:21

I ran the above race today in the rain! 51.21 chip time.. Delighted with that and last week's 50.43 at the Bedford 10. There's life in the old dog yet!

The race is around the Olympic Park, twisting and turning around the paths, next to the stadium, River Lee and through the shopping areas. It's not as uncomplicated as last week's Bedford 10k with its long stretches of straight, flat route, but it had a great atmosphere. As I anticipated running the race in fewer than 55 minutes, I was designated an elite runner - thats a first!

My Rushden Runner chum Laura Marsh (hopefully soon to join the Harriers) also ran and got a good time. There was the usual support from Fiona Fiander and Keith Lakin, just like old times!
