Gateshead Trail 10KM:
I love this race. It’s a nice course, there’s a good crowd, and the medal doubles as a bottle opener; what’s not to like?

I’m still struggling with an injury, but I’m trying to manage it with only one month to go until the GNR.
My Garmin had a brain fart (or user error) at the start. Chip time was 01:02:53. I am Still not back to my sub-1hr 10KM; the dodgy knee is still struggling on hills. Surprisingly, it’s still faster than last year’s 1:04.
It was good to bump into Mick, a fellow Running Punk, today, although he was too fast for me.


Chip time: 62 mins 02 secs
Placing: 838 (out of 1332)
