Agent Orange Spookily this was exactly the same time as I ran in this race in 2006. It was faster than my target time but still slightly disappointing. The start is always crowded, and a mark of this was it took me till the 1km mark even to overtake Scooby Doo. Then it opened out a bit. Having had a tiring day yesterday on my feet, I ran a little within myself, but got to the half way mark in 23.18. The route always measures long - I guess as it's on wide roads, it's hard to follow the racing line. I was picking up the pace a bit in the second half and moving well through the field. After 9km I thought I had a chance of sneaking in under 46 mins. But that last km measured 1.15km on the garmin and took me over 5 minutes. 46.38 was the final result. But it was a good atmosphere as usual and nice to keep up my record - my 7th consecutive run here. Unaffiliated 43:42 46:38 46:59 46:38 61.13

Menna Good run - lots of little loops around Oxford centre and then 3km looping in the park. Had to push the pace but made it! Even managed a sprint finish. Unaffiliated 50:32 54:36 58:00 54:36 54.43

RichardNathan Great day for a run - sunny but with a cool wind, perfect temperature.I'd never been to Oxford before either and I'd heard good things so was looking forward to the course. I was running with a friend from the football team and he started far too fast for me (he completed it in a little over 41 mins), I should have stuck to my game plan and paced myself a lot better and from around 7k I started to struggle. It is still my PB for a 10k but it's a very flat course and I recon with a bit of training I could knock a minute off here. Still, a great day out. Unaffiliated 42:17 42:17 48:00 43:26 60.90
