Cros Popular de Sants 10k

Simon Black reports from Barcelona:

7 euros… for a race, chip start and finish timing, a wicking t-shirt, hot chocolate, piece of cake, and closed road… The Cros Popular de Sants is an undulating 2 lap race around Barcelona which was in its 31st running with 1400 entrants and a lot of fit looking people around

Kathryn sped to a magnificent PB by over 1 ½ minutes and a first ever sub 50 10k. It just goes to show what the hill and mountains of Barcelona can do given zero speedwork and long runs over the past 4 months due to the heat. A particularly good run given it was very windy and a negative split by over 45 seconds.

Seems like the younger members of the Dashers are also getting quicker :-)
