Nice Prom 10km -10th Jan 2016

wp_20160110_11_33_26_rich_liStarting to add blogs to events in 2016 retrospectively. The first one was a usual 10K run in Nice along the promenade des anglais in Nice. I did this with my friend Ivor in the picture above and completed it in 57 mins and 58secs. Nice sunny weather along the beautiful Nice promenade. Lunch afterwards in a restaurant in Nice market – Fantastic

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 !
