Like Louise and Tom we were up against it with the quality and depth of the Trafford 10k field. With practically the top 50 under 34 minutes and a crowded fast start there was little chance to run your own race, it was a sprint from the gun. Jim and I tried to hang onto the pace but ended up fighting a losing battle with the leading ladies into the last 3km. The first V40 ran 30:17. Flat and traffic free, Trafford is probably the fastest 10k in the area with far greater depth than GMR. And as Matt and Alan showed you really should PB.
