Fishface Not been training properly since FLM - see lack of entries in training log - just doing bits here and there.  Hoped I would be lucky and have a good run anyway.  Not the case 1min outside PB and generally a poor run. Unaffiliated 42:22 42:38 43:00 43:22 61.98
McGoohan Took a decision to run this, this very morning, despite the weather forecast. Made the small mistake of eating a bacon sarnie in Dorking station on the way. Sarnie was delicious but sat heavy in my tum and there was only 1.5 hours to kick-off. 

I seemed to be the only Fetchite there - the only one wearing the shirt anyway. So: race started on time and I started my Garmin as I crossed the start line. (Official time will be about +15 secs I reckon). All was going according to plan until just short of 3 miles. I felt a bit of gripiness in my stomach. Oh no! The sarnie was coming back! I dropped a gear and kept from upchucking (just). 

At some point somewhere between miles 4 and 5 I was overtaken by a 'little old lady' who looked shockingly like my mother-in-law. (Glad to say it wasn't her as it turned out.) I tried to keep up.
