10 Mile Handicap Sun 14th Oct

Second road race of the year was the Clubs annual 10 mile handicap race round the Horeshoe. Start & finish at the Vale Leisure Centre.

The route goes up to & through Balloch towards Gartocharn turning off at the Ballochmyle & onto the Horseshoe route by Caldarvan station and back down Auchencarroch road to the Vale.

Set off too fast as usual but steadied after a couple of miles around 7 1/2 min mile pace to reach 5 miles in 38 mins. Lost it in the next 2 miles and walked up a couple of the hills before jogging to the finish in a PW of 83 + mins, 9 mins outside handicap time set by me!
