RunningBob I had pictured a flat one along the sea front with a crack at the club 4 mile record. The Dawlish Coasters had a different sort of dash in mind and the first mile was spent floundering on the beach first through soft sand and pebbles then back along the sea shore steeple chasing over the “groynes”. These were high wooden fences designed to stop sand (and ungainly runners like me) progressing along the beach. As I staggered back onto dry land at the end of the first mile a marshall was calling out 7 minutes and I was well behind the more experienced beach trotters. I managed to catch most of them over the remaining 3 miles where the only obstacles were a couple of flights of steps. Finsihed 4th. All in all a recommended race if you’re in the area and above groyne height Wilmslow RC 21:57 21:57 21:57 81.01
