This one was never in my plan, but after Boston I knew I needed to run a qualifying time somewhere as Matt alreday had his 2017 time in the bag. Great race on a Saturday afternoon. Edinburgh (felt and fast apparently) was already full so this was the next best alternative and what a find!
Really great city and I bumped in to two Zurich guys as well who made for great company.
The race itself is pretty special in that its run on a Saturday afternoon and it takes all the city sights. Plus it finishes in the Olympic stadium which was very cool.
For race day the weather was a bit too warm and I wasn't sure what my plan should be - so I just went for it at 3:20 pace which I managed to hand on to all the way round, nicking in just under. Saturday night was great - I could relax in the knowledge that I safely bagged another Boston qualifier.
