Great Edinburgh Run 10K

Entrants (50) Club PB SB Pred Time WAVA
_andy 530ft of uphill with strong gales, but at least the rain held off. The start was great and I even saw myself on TV afterwards. The waves at the start worked nicely, although I was standing next to someone checking his 55min race split times on his wristband next to me eventhough it was the sub-40min part of the green wave. Although the green wave was meant to be for 46-60min runners, the organisers had a sub-40 and a 40-45 min zone in it (well done to them), and this worked well for me: I had a nice clear road throughout and just spent the run overtaking (for which there was plenty of space where I was). The downhill-only first couple of miles made for a worryingly fast start, as did the descent past Waverly and down the Royal Mile. Holyrood Park was a complete nightmare, with that endless gradient always visible in front and gales that made forward progress tricky. Not a course for a PB, althoug I wasn't too far off: a top 300 finish. Kinross Road Runners 37:17 40:53 42:52 62.40

Big N Hardly ran in the 2 weeks before the race due to work and having to go to London. Not too bad though considering the lack of training and the conditions on the day. Unaffiliated 56:17 57:03 55:00 57:03

biru Felt very good all the way through the race today. A fantasic course, although with that wind and a number of steep hills not really one to PB on. A little disappointed to get an XXL T-Shirt in the goody bag (I'm sure I got it from the Standard Large Section)...will no doubt come in handy if I ever take up Darts or Sumo Wrestling in the future!

bungee Will be happy with this time as there are 3 'decent' hills that I can remember of from last year! Wasn't going to go for a PB but the temptation is too much!!! So its up to you if you fancy a flutter on me. I wouldn't say I am 100% confident but I am going to go for it..... UPDATE .... sorry folks I tried but the wind & hills just weren't making it happen for me today. Nairn Road Runners 53:50 53:52 54:40 56:00 57.19

CPMINAS The 3 hills starting from Arthur's seat onwards, the fiery heat (at times) followed by strong gusting side winds robbed me of a new PB; but I ought to be able to set the record straight with the next two 10Ks, especially the Swansea Bay flat 10K course.
