Kirkintilloch 10k 2009
18th June 2009
Flat canalside run on a very windy evening. It's a bit asymmetric so it was about 6km into the wind and 4km wind-assisted. Felt tired and demotivated, not very interested in races right now. There's a fine line between starting gently and getting caught at the back of the pack. I was on the wrong side, so immediately shot my time to bits. Made some progress but basically ran like a cow and got a stitch near the end, necessitating a sprint finish to recover a place I nearly lost.
Splits (approx): 4:10, 3:52, 3:59, 4:03, 3:57, 3:58, 3:53, 3:51, 3:57, 3:56
Andy Freer was on cheerleading duties, complete with miniskirt and pom-poms. The horror, the horror...

Andy will probably look better in miniskirt and pom poms than he did in the flourescent green mankini he wore at the last Christmas Handicap!
At least you broke 40 minutes! Despite your comments to the contrary, it doesn't look from your time as if you had THAT bad a run? So Johnstone, if Andy in dodgy gear doesn't motivate you for races right now, tell us what will???
