13/12/09 Bolsover Castle 11k Race Report

A fine brisk December morning and I was looking forward to this one. Again my preparation had not been perfect but I was hoping to get round in about 55 minutes. I had never been to Bolsover castle before and it is definitely worth a visit. The course itself was pretty flat one decent hill and a few boring straights. The last 1k was good though, running towards the castle along the battlements (what a great view!) and finishing in the courtyard. A sprint finish later and I came in with a chip time of 51.41 over three minutes better than I had hoped.

It was a well organised and very well marshalled race and the t-shirt is pretty good a proper running top.

Will run it again next year!
