Dubai 10K

My third Dubai 10K today, at the unfathomably early time of 06.45, went better than the previous two. I plodded around in a slightly faster than expected time of 51 minutes. It was well organised and a good event to be part of. However, it was cold and heavy rain just prevented Haile Gebreselassie from breaking his own world record in the main event of the marathon. Mind you, he still picked up $250k for winning - not bad for 2 hours and 5 minutes of effort.

The best part of the day came later at 11, when it had warmed up a little, and I proudly ran round the 3K fun run with my 8 year old daughter Lucy.
