The Mighty Fleecy Oct 2019 7:30pm, 26 Oct 2019 47,518 posts	0 The Mighty Fleecy I sang to Fidgety Midget the last few miles, she loved it and it made her run faster The lovely wind pushing you along in the last bit was made up for by having to run directly into it for several miles around 11-14 miles, that was brutal. Enjoyed the race overall though it did seem more congested than previous years, in one section we had to wait 12 minutes to go through a gate and over the bridge. They should take that off my time. And the time in the pub.

Did lose quite a lot of time queueing here and there. Sorry you had a bad day, SK. Just remembered, it was you brought up in Frome I was having a conversation about Frome Old Showfield parkrun with a while back, wasn't it?

We did only have a couple of people queue jump, but they were on their way to get married, so fair enough. I just booked for next year too. I think I'll stay for the weekend next time as the 5am start was a bit tough.
