Sitges Half Marathon
Simon Black reports:
As Britain freezes, the temperature in Barcelona was predicted to be a balmy 4 degrees, but on the day rose to a wonderful 12 degrees in the seaside town of Sitges. With nearly 2500 starters, this race is not as hilly as Swanage, but a 2km hill from 8-10k should have put paid to any PB’s…… but not for Kathryn who took nearly 3 minutes off her PB!!!!
Place Cat position 10k time Gun Time Chip time
Kathryn Black 1746 100/230 53:47 1:50:39 1:49:45
Simon Black 179 176/2216 41:50 1:24:54 1:24:17
To give some idea of the quality of the race, the top 6 all ran sub 1:10 and the top 60 all beat 1:15. You also got a technical t-shirt and a free ruck-sack all for €15.

Nice running guys, especially posting a great PB Kathryn.
Must be all that hill training up Montjuic?
Hope London mara training is going well.
