-caz- Entry confirmed :D I knew this wasn't gonna be a pretty event for me, 1st time I've ran since 7th June (Dumbarton 10k) and boy did I pick a tough event to return. Started off a little quick then battled to the top of the hill next to the train station. Downhill towards Inverkeithing was fine then I started to slow as we got onto the A90 and the slow drag onto the FRB. Just prior to the 1st pillar I was battling the evil voices inside my head and I succombe to their evilness and stopped running. Damn no will power to fight against it, then it was stop/start all the way till the return crossing and I managed to keep the legs working back over to the finish. Thanks to Billie for trying to spurn me over the FRB when I started to wave the white flag. Met Tigger & a brief introduction to Tasi's Lass. Unaffiliated 47:21 55:55 55:00 1:03:03 42.01

Big Al Widepants Got to have something to aim at. Creeping down towards 43.xx. UPDATE. How tough was that? There were downhill bits, but they vanished from the memory as we chugged up hill after hill. The long slow climb to the middle of FRB was a horror fest and as I jogged round the car park on the south side of the bridge, I knew how hard the return would be. A bloke in a Wee County vest was 50 metres ahead and I couldn't catch him no matter how hard I tried. Got done by a couple of chancers with 25 to go and then one wide-o with about 10. I summoned all my reserves and blasted back to pip him over the line and just beat the shame of 46. My splits are hilarious - absolutely all over the place from K1 - 3.42 to K4 - 5.10!!

Debstir First time running this race. Oh dear! Triathlon training certainly wrecks your running (well, mine anyway!). Could easily have cried & jumped off the bridge in the first half, felt absolutely spent and both heels were really sore (new shoes time, methinks). Felt slightly better once I was on the other side of the bridge and my (unofficial) time wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so I'm glad I didn't jump after all! One of the best bits about the race was quaffing champers & strawberries after it to celebrate my pal's 40th, and the fact that she got race number '40' - cheers Baza, I owe you one!! Unaffiliated 48:30 49:48 52:52 56.83
Enigma That was tough. The first 2Km s were fast and mainly downhill, from then on it was hard going. It was quite breezy going over the bridge. I didn't get the sub 40 time that I'd wanted, but I don't think I could have gone any faster today. There were 6300 points bet on me and I'm glad to say that it was another PB so your points are safa and I don't have to watch out for a lynching mob. It'sthe Bute Highland Games 10K next week - will I manage sub 40K there? Great race for Carnegie HArriers - first 10 men home, first 2 ladies home and both team prizes - well done to all. Also well done to Baza for organising a great race. Time is watch time at the moment, I'll update it with official time later. Unaffiliated 40:36 40:36 40:00 40:51 65.00

Fat Boy Well done Baza on organising the race which is one of the best 10K's and best post-race buffet's around. Despite recording a personal worst I was still quite pleased with my run and accomplished my goal of sub 42 mins placing 48th / 304 finishers. Carnegie Harriers 31:07 41:48 41:48 65.08

jp105 Started this race well however after only 3Km my legs felt heavy and found it difficult to maintain a good stride. A brilliant result for our club with us occupying the first 10 male positions and first 2 females! Carnegie Harriers 35:21 35:37 36:51 71.64

PentlandPounder Gutted - 4 mins worse than last year . Guess thats what happens if you don't train Unaffiliated 45:10 48:44 49:30 56.67
Plussing As Which Well, the tired little leggies did me proud! Knocked another 30 secs off my PB and came 2nd lady. Tough course and weather conditions were a bit blustery. Really well organises race with fantastic post race spread. Well done Baza and co. A Carnegie Harriers whitewash with the men taking all of the top 10 positions and May getting 1st lady. Also got the team prize with May & Fabienne. Unaffiliated 38:14 38:14 38:40 38:14 78.85
Quadbarrel I'm in good form, but not top form. Too soon after a couple of annoying injuries. UPDATE. Really enjoyed that, and not a bad prediction of my time!! Confession time to Baza. Ran using someone else's number on the basis that : 1. They were not going to run. 2. I was not going to win. 3. I was too late getting my entry in (was on holiday). 4. Ran last year and was one of my favourite races. 5. Better have someone running than an empty place in such a good race. 6. That must be enough .... Cambuslang Harriers 35:07 37:02 39:30 39:18 68.07
reedy Had a horrible race, was on for a good time up until 7k. Staggered accross the line and had to be helped into the car! I think I just ran out of sugar! Carnegie Harriers 43:48 43:48 47:00 50:30 53.52
