Richmond Riverside 10K - Sibling Rivalry Decided

I ran my fastest 10K this year. 45:41 is not too shabby by anyone's standards, and I'm feeling ready for the half marathon in two weeks time. But was it enough to beat my little brother, Fraser?

No! I've been training loads recently. 3 times a week plus races. So I was hoping it'd be enough to give me an edge. Not so. Having led for almost all the race I was beaten, when, in the closing seconds, Fraser sprinted past to beat me. F....! Fraser wins 2 races to my 1:(

BTW, the race was pretty good, if a little expensive. I recommend.

Richmond Riverside 10K - Sibling Rivalry Decider

The battle of the brothers is to be decided in Richmond. After the Richmond Riverside 10K we will know who is the better runner.

After a recent equaliser, sibling rivalry required that a third and deciding 10K be run. The venue will be Richmond and the race is the The Fix UK Richmond Riverside 10K. Who will win is open to question, but by rights it should be me. I am the eldest and have been running for a bit longer. Saying that Fraser plays football avidly so is no slouch, and has been training like a maddie. Whoever wins, it'll be a close one.

Then we intend to get absolutely lagered:))
