Expo -> Shakeout Run -> Race Day
We lucked out with the weather, it was nice and sunny but the cool air kept it below 15 degrees. Amazing food, coffee and bagels ๐ฅฏ The race was flat, fast and lots of pacers with balloons. The only thing was the many corners that got quite busy but it did mean the buzz throughout the city was electric! Can of coke & Chocy milk at the finish line + loosing no toenails = what a win!!
Looks like theyโve moved to ballot entries for 2027โฆ so get your name in the mix if youโre keen for next Mayโฆ

With the race being 3 weeks post Manchester marathon, we had no goal time or pace - just race hard and enjoy it (??? As much as you can for a 10k๐คฃ๐ฅด)!!! A really solid run in 40.55 and a negative split ๐ฎโ๐จ pretty epic, well done Anne ๐ค๐ผ

My first cycling race ๐ด๐ผโโ๏ธ CCC Bal Tab Road Race - 20 miles!!
The first year for a womanโs only division with 10 ladies on the start line. Great morning racing with my main goal to not get dropped, which was a success. A nice hard effort on the bike, leading to a new bike max heart rate and power output for an hour ๐ Looking forward to more races over the season. Thank you to for organising ๐
Cross training/cycling can really help build up our aerobic base as runners, something all runners should consider in their training ๐ค
