On Sunday we head up to Sherwood Pines for their New Year 10k,
which is organised by those nice people at Nice Work. It is a nice leg stretch
on a route that contains a lot of the Sherwood Pines parkrun.
They mess up on the course though. It starts near the café
and the opening straight leads you on to a circular course which you do once
for the 5k or twice for the 10k before finishing with the same straight section
to the finish.
Mathematicians among you will have immediately noticed that
the total length of the 10k therefore cannot be twice the length of the 5k. It would
require another out and back of the straight\finish section to be so, therefore one of
the distances is going to be inaccurate. This clearly is the 10k which ends up
being only 9.5k. Which makes my time of 47:22 look even worse.
As we’re both marathon training, we then grab the dogs and
do another 5k-ish lap of the course, just for fun.
