76:38 in the Trim 10 Mile today, which is a little step up on my 37:15 in the Raheny 5 last weekend according to race equivalency calculators. Lovely running conditions today compared to the wild & windy day last year when I posted 72:49. 
I was over the halfway mat in 37:56 & 2/3 the way through a tricky section, a 3km drag from 6-9km. Thereās some nice downhill running then when you turn back towards Trim just before 10km & I had designs on negative splitting.
But I got a really irritating stitch in my stomach after 12-13km & it slowed me right down. I was kinda nursing myself home when a few fellow Raheny folk came charging past with a km to go & exhorted me to hang onto them. So I quickened up for that last stretch but was still 38:42 for the second 5.
I enjoyed the race though - nice, rolling course out into the townlands & back in. Next race on my calendar is the new Dublin half at the end of March but Iāll see if I can slip something in before then.
