For those of you who might be living in Wales, UK and have not tried any of the Men's Health and Fitness 10 K series; give it a go. I was working for a couple weeks in the UK and found this race in Cardiff two weeks ago, and it was GREAT! It is a regular 10K with some 'extras' thrown in. These include water hazards, walls, tunnels, stairs, and many more. Im just very glad that they did not have all 1300 of us start at once, as I nearly got trampled climbing over the high stacked hay bales in the first hundred yards. My time was just over an hour, but I still fininshed in the top 0.3% and within 30 seconds of second place (one of the bummers of running in the 'sharp end' of a race is that if you are unfamiliar with the course, the volunteers (and I love them all) dont realize that you are too oxygen deprived to understand where to go, even if there are arrows directing you...but I digress).
I had an
absolute blast at the race; and given the opportunity, would go back there in a second (as long as I did not have to pay for the plane fare...it is just too long and too expensive).
