On the way up we used it as a perfect opportunity to find a few more Gold Post boxes from London 2012.

The route for the 10k wasn't the most exciting as around 7km was on one road, but compared to Wollaton it was a relatively flat route. The morning of the race it was a very nice surprise to look out the Travelodge window and see the start line. Once I had gone for a little walk and was getting ready for a warm up it was nice to bump into a few local celebrities, Mr.Burton from Educating Yorkshire, Keith Senior - Leeds Rhinos player and the best of all Matthew Lewis - Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter. But more importantly I had a client running in the event too, she finished in a really good time of 1 hour 12 minutes. This was only her 2nd 10k so I am very proud of her achievement.
I finished the race in 46 minutes 8 seconds. So I was a little bit behind my PB set in Nottingham but on a hot day I was happy with that result.
