6500 runners took part in the 10K and half marathon on a good day for running – cloudy with a breeze and no rain. The course started on the promenade des anglais and then traversed through the town of Nice past the port and back along the promenade des anglais following the Nice Prom 10 Km course down to the airport and back which I did in January. Felt good at the 10km stage and seemed to be getting stronger on the next 11Km finishing in 2hrs 6 minutes and 45 seconds. This was faster than expected considering the running training I had done so far (Total of 4 runs) and this time was only a few minutes slower than the half marathon I did in Cannes back in February 2008 when I was considerably fitter having done the London Marathon (April). London Triathlon (August) and the New York Marathon (November), the year before in 2007. So pleased with my time several years on and looking forward to improving on my run timings in the triathlons and other events planned for this year with the added endurance in my running legs from this run. Next race hopefully the Trivert in Callian which will be challenging !
