We are still without a car, so we forced to use public
transport to get over to Leicester for the newest of Asda Foundation / Jane Tomlinson Run
For All events. They call it the ‘first’ Leicester 10k but there are multiple
10ks in Leicester and always have been, this is just the latest.
Many race plans in the past have been scuppered by the lack
of public transport options so I am pleasantly surprised\shocked to find that there
are actually trains to Leicester before 9am on a Sunday and that the Nottingham
tram starts at 6am on a Sunday. Wow.
So in the end it proves relatively easy to get to Abbey Park
for the event.
The route of the 10k sounds nice. It takes us across the
Grand Union Canal, into the city centre, past the Richard III visitor centre, past
the cathedral, then twice over the River Soar before ending with a final lap of
the park. I didn’t really notice much of that...
My only aim is to not get re-injured, so it’s a case of
stick at a steady pace all the way round and a laborious time of 48:36 shows
that it’s job well done. There’s even a post race massage to check out the
damage, which I’m told is negligible. The masseur concurs that I’m good to go
and compliments Thursday’s treatment.
L runs it too and seems equally ecstatic afterwards to have survived
it.
