The Saltash Half is a great event even when it's hammering down with rain  Tough course with some short sharp and also some long grinding hills, but not a killer. Unfortunately unable to defend my title as fastest M60-64. Three of us in the category this year and I was third. From champ to chump. Oh well. On the plus side, I was 10 minutes quicker than last year so they must be putting something in my tea. |

Muttley 10 minutes faster than last year is a win IMHO. Well done.

If I recall correctly last year it was warm and sunny so that's probably why. Anyone doing the Godrevy 10k on Tuesday (7th May)? Noon tomorrow is the deadline for entering: freedom-racing.co.uk |

Thanks, Meglet! Yup, I'm in Penryn. Not entirely sure you could call me a "runner" at the moment though. |

My first marathon was the Duchy in 2007, another race that sadly no longer takes place

I've run the Duchy a few times, lovely race. Wasn't there in 2007 though, had to go and check my list. I've just confirmed my deferred place in the Cornish for this year, 3rd November. |

I did the Duchy in 2004 (into a howling gale, my notes say) and 2005. It seems sadly no more, along with the Duchy 20. We still have the Eden Project in October. I'm in for the half and Muttley Jnr is doing the full, his first. |

No Eden Project for me, I'm strictly road. I remember one year with 50mph winds on the coastal section of the Duchy, the drink station blew away and I recorded an 18 minute mile on that section. You might think that was slow but I actually overtook 2 runners in that mile. 🤣🤣 When did life become so complicated, just had to confirm my pasty order for the Cornish... Steak, cheese & onion, vegan, gluten free steak, gluten free cheese and only, gluten free vegan, or no pasty. |

I ran the Duchy Marathon in *checks notes* 2011. And the Duchy 20 in 2009. (Also: I've just discovered I've run one race in the last ten years.) The Cornish was my 2nd marathon and, weirdly, it remained my PB race even after many attempts at the distance. |
