Medal #18 - Stourport Shuttle 10K, 27th September 2009

As a last-minute decision, Vixx joined me for this nice little club-type event in Stourport.

We were both impressed by the pleasant, modern facilities in the club house - and the fact that it served fresh-brewed coffee (well, OK, it was out of a machine, but close enough).

The field was quite a small one, with a number of scary-looking proper-type athletes. Vixx and I kept ourselves to the back of the pack to start with, although both of us overtook a number by the end of the race.

The route was pleasant enough, quite flat, but with one right b*gger of a hill just after the three-mile point that sapped my legs completely. It ended with a lap of the track, which is a novelty for me as I've never really run on a proper track surface.

We finished off in proper Vixx 'n' Cath style with a coffee from the clubhouse. We really must get round to doing that coffee run...
