Clapham 10K vs London 10K - the rivalry continues...

My brother is aiming for 45 minutes in the up-coming Clapham 10K. Ambitious little sod!!

The next brotherly contest beckons. And the bar has been raised. My little brother, Fraser, has decided he's going to aim for a 45 minute finish. Being his second ever 10K he's setting himself quite a goal. However, considering how much he trains I reckon its well within his grasp. Being a caring elder brother, I hope to beat whatever time he achieves.

One problem exists. While Fraser runs the Clapham 10K I will be running elsewhere, in the London 10k in Piccadilly. So keeping ahead of him won't be so easy. I'll be running 30 minutes earlier and in the centre of London. Then Fraser takes to Clapham Common in a smaller, much more low key, event. Trying guage who is ahead will be nigh impossible. Only our respective race times will tell who is victorious.

Who'll come out ahead? Well, that's yet to be decided. Preferably yours truly.
