Property Week Challenge 2011 - British 10k London run

In conjunction with the Property Week Challenge 2011, dohertybaines entered a team of four to the British 10k London Run. With three of the team having competed in the Property Triathlon just two days earlier, there were some tired legs and very impressive pre-race excuses (principally based around having been out on the Saturday night). Regardless, the team went on to notch up some very respectable times. Mark Howard, recovering from an injury and having not been for a run for what is believed to be over a decade, came in at a sterling 57.03. Tim Holmes finished with a respectable 52.12. Following a closely fought battle throughout including Colin Hughes sneaking past Chris Mitchell around the 7k mark, only for Chris (convinced he was on a road bike) to quietly "slip stream" the last 2.5k with Colin completely oblivious. The bragging rights clash ended in a spectacularly unnecessary/Tour de France inspired manor, with a sprint down the final 300m. Colin finished a mere 9 seconds behind Chris with the two finishing at 49.18 and 49.09 respectively.
