Rotary Blenheim 10k, Sunday 25th October 2009

October seems to be the month of 10k races for the LadyBoys. Not only is Mr Magoo and The Bad Doctor hell-bent on doing them, but they've roped in Andrew and Rosie into this testing run course. The Duke Of Marlborough's back garden proved to be a splendid setting for what was to be a good test for Andrew and Rosie, both of whom hadn't run this far since the Team Relays in August. From last week's Frieth 10k, Mr Magoo was feeling pretty good. He's been turning up the volume in recent weeks, but not half as much as The Bad Doc who, after consultation with Fit2Run's experts, has decided to aim high and pursue a weekly mileage of 30+ miles.

As it turns out, The Bad Doc posted an excellent time (within one minute of a PB), considering the hills and the windy conditions over the Blenheim estate. Andrew and Rosie also did well to break the hour barrier easily, and Mr Magoo rolled up in a time one minute slower than the Frieth race. What was his excuse? "Last night's curry." Tch.
