Ridiculously windy at Big Half & still nursing dodgy hamstring so didn't even attempt the 80% (1:34). I finished in 1:43 which gave me top 8% overall women & top 3% in age category. Even Mo took longer than 60 mins today so feeling bit happier since checking results. Gusting cross winds so strong crossing Tower Bridge I feared I may take a dip in the Thames st one point! Due to the wind they cancelled the after run festival & also removed the flags for the meet up area so finding my other half post run almost as big a challenge ax the run!

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Well done surviving the wind Jovi. We had winds like that forecast, but it was not quite so bad, and Inverness is a fairly sheltered course. But the wintry showers and cold temps made it a character building day.
I have no idea how someone survives running over 2 1/2 hours on a day like today like the miserable looking people I saw as I walked back to the car. I was in a hot shower at about the 1.33 point in the race. Knowing the showers are a short way from the finish, and the 80 WAVA, were the two thoughts that kept me going late in the race.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
No one has recorded an 80% WAVA at Fort William parkrun in its first year. It's a tough course but by no means the toughest.
I was a long way off challenging that record yesterday!

I worked out that if i equalled my parkrun pb when aged 66 then i would get exactly 80% WAVA.
Last Thursday i turned 66, so today was my first chance. Would i get past the magic 80?
If you've got 5 minutes read my blog https://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog-view.php?id=2274.
If you haven't, just look at the last couple of paragraphs.
