It was yet another personal best and a remarkable result from Jordan as he finished the "B race" in second place with the time of 30:22.75.
Jordan narrowly beat the time he ran at The Mallory Park Spring 10k in April by just over a second, the time will be a club record for the 10,000 metres while his fine road time of 30:24 will still stand as the road 10k record.
