Race report by Jo:
I took a little trip to the seaside today for the Blackpool Summer 10k. The start line was on the Comedy Carpet under the Tower, and the route heads down to the Pleasure Beach and back. Two laps, totally flat, and absolutely baking.
Despite the heat, it turned into a good one: 36th, 5th female, 1st V40, and 45:08, which is my quickest 10k in more than three years. Very happy with that.
Lovely race, great support, and a proper summer’s day on the Fylde coast.

Racing? Absolutely not. Today’s strategy ... Tolkien Trail Race
