Ipswich Jaffas running club organised an evening closed road running race through the centre of Ipswich.
Two main events took place; an elite runners 5k followed by an open 10k. Both Clare and myself entered the 10k along with several friends (Keith, Clare B and Howard).
I was aiming for 42mins and Clare wanted to beat 52mins.
The course took us from the University buildings near our home, along Rope Walk to the middle of town, down Silent St to the Cinema, through the football ground stands, back into town past my office on Princes St, up the slight climb of Museum St, back down Lloyds Ave past a Samba band. Then along Tavern St, the Buttermarket, back to my office and then back along Rope Walk, followed by a 2nd lap of the same route.
I finished in 40:12 and Clare finished in 51:06!
