Xmas Cracker 10K

Cathy D reports...

Myself, Stuart and Carol travelled to a sunny but crisp Weston-Super-Mare for the annual Christmas Cracker 10k. It was a nice flat course but because most of it is run on the beach this made it very hard work given the rain we have had of late. In some places it was just like clay which made it very sticky to run on. However we all had pleasing run's with Stu having a comfortable race finishing 138th in 43 mins. Given the amount of running he's been doing lately he was pleased with his effort. Next in was myself & as i've been unwell AGAIN this week with the same symptons as last time, i had a good run. I came 201st in a time of 44:52 which was only 5 secs of my PB, so again a really pleasing effort. Carol also ran well, again claiming her age catorgory prize. This was her 3rd attempt at this course so knew pretty much what to expect. She came home 227th in a time of 45:35.
