Almeria 2010

OK, here's my attemp at posting a layout of the circuit.
Looks similar to last year with out the cul-de-sac
Looks like they've added some metres onto the first lap after we turn inland at the big roundabout, so we run further towards the bridge, almost to Bar Aqualung, before looping back towards the sea for lap two.
Thinking about it we might have done that last time; I can't be sure. They've changed the finish for sure (I prefer the new finish). We now turn right at the roundabout before the bridge and follow the finish of the 10k last year. It'll be better not having to run up the side of the railway; I always find that terribly hard for some reason (perhaps because it's the last 2 kilometres of the race!).

The only other difference that I can see in the course is at the start where we turned left then right, we are now turning left and left again and then do a dog-leg before returning to the original course. Thought it was a bit strange to add the new dog-leg at the beginning of the course where people are going to be bunched together - it is going to slow the beginning of the race down alot for the mid-pack runners.

I think we ran up to the bridge at the end of the first lap last year after the 10k runners headed back to the stadium at the roundabout. Dog-leg gone from second lap too.

Course is looking good to me
