There were 2 local 10k road races for the Harriers to choose between on Sunday 26th August and both of them boasted flat PB courses. It just depended whether you wanted to run in the morning or the evening. Mike Musgrove opted for the morning and headed to Langport in Somerset for the Battle of Segdemoor 10k.
This is the second consecutive year that Mike has run this race and last year he set a PB on the course but was nevertheless frustrated as he had hoped to run under 36 minutes but came in just 4 seconds over. This year, however, the pressure of running a sub-36 was not there as he has already achieved it at the Exeter 10k earlier this month, so Mike was able to enjoy this race without the pressure of hammering it the whole way round!
That said, he didn't dawdle either which is reflected in his finish position: a highly creditable 15th overall and 4th MV40.
There were 325 finishers and the race was won in a superb sub 30 minute time of 29:28 by David Cooke. What is even more amazing is that David is in the MV50 category! There's hope for us all yet!!
Exe-rated runners!
