Baker Hughes 10K

Recommended Posts


Registration opens tomorrow, is anyone doing it this year? Think I am going to give it a bash, never done anything like it so would be a good challenge.

 

Also, got Tough Mudder to 'look forward to' in August.

Probably will this year. Not actually that long a distance when you think about it but worth signing up.

 

As for Tough Mudder, I'm a pussy when it comes to cold water. My mate did it last year and said there's a part where you have to swim through a tank of water and ice - not for me. :clangers2:

10km is a good distance. long enough to test but not too long that training for it would require you to be a bore.

 

 

:laughing:

 

On that note I've scratched the usual running training for the last two weeks out here to play 7 a side fitba every day.

 

Went for a 10k run last night instead of playing fitba and I've taken just over a couple of minutes off my usual training time.

 

 

I fly to Vegas the day after this race so won't enter.

 

I fancy the Garioch half marathon on the 24th March though.

Think I'll do the Garioch 10k this year to start things going. Working up towards the Amsterdam marathon in October. Will maybe do the Baker Hughes as well, but won't be booking a spot until Aberdeen are out of the cup. Just in case.

 

Are you signed/signing up for Loch Ness this year?

Haven't checked the dates or rotation for that yet. Taking it easier this year. Went too gung ho trying for Loch Ness last year and fucked my knee for a while so now back in the swing of things and will tackle a couple of half marathons this year first.

 

What date is the Amsterdam one?

It is on the 20th October. My last two marathons haven't gone so greatly, because it has been 25 to 30 degrees. So even though both courses were flat compared to Loch Ness, trying to keep hydrated (and preparing for it in Aberdeen's climate) meant they were both noticeably slower going (also not helped by recurring knee injury issues). Thought Amsterdam in October ticks both flat and better climate, to try and work towards a PB this year. Nearer 3 hrs 30 hopefully.

Bluto will be crying into his wheat beer by the end of the week, having caved into his drink dependency.

 

The wife will fuck off back to Smoggie-land while he's in the boozer, leaving only a video player and Bluto's cherished copy of 'Man United season review 1995/6'.

 

how long did that take you to dream up and type out?
