BigChiefRunningBore Report (just for you). Zebras, Rhinos and Club Runners were on display here. A 3 lapper on a gently undulating road. Top organisation, top venue. A race of two halfs. First 5 km in 20.04 second in a poxy 22.05, after an attack of CBA after team mate (and IanM) started skipping off as my glutes screamed that they had done enough and that they wanted to look at the Lemurs. Actually was a stronger run than expected. Would have been a better time too if I hadn't jogged to the line - Mr CBA having made a great case for not sprinting. Best moment of the day was turning around to see Poppysox smash her PB having been paced around by WJ's top blonde Speed Bump ( Bump by name Bumping by nature)  sooo pleased :-) :-) hope to return next year and get a coaster.

GrahH Hopefully its flatter (and hence faster?) than my last 10k so maybe a smidge quicker than my last outing..Phew I'm in - number 646 out of an entry of 650. AFTER. Well its not REALLY flat is it! Better time than predicted but no PB this time! Harpenden Arrows 44:50 47:02 49:30 49:13 60.88

jangles Garmin time PB by 1 second - Met a few Fetchies pre-race :) Went off a bit quick and suffered for it in the last 2k.  Pulled something in my thigh but managed to limp round the zoo and see a couple of Rhinos and Elephants before heading home.  Next year I think I'll enter the bratling in the fun run.

poppysox Hoping to set a PB at this race.  Heard it is a flat course, which is not going to suit me, but I will give that PB a go anyway! UPDATE:  A new PB thanks to some brilliant pacing from speed bump.  V pleased!  Great course too and very welll organised.  Managed to miss most of the animals though!

sleepylion Not done a 10K race for a year - been focussed on half-maras. After my first marathon last month (Shakespeare), I want a shorter challenge. Excellent race from all angles - organisation, flat course, lovely scenery, very nice medal at the end.

sparky76 Enjoyed the race & well organised.  I was pleased with my time & to knock 14 minutes of my previous year's 10K was a good feeling. Dunstable Lions RC 39:26 51:36 1:00:00 51:36 51.24
