Yes it was tougher than I was expecting, or maybe just still tired from the week before. Yep, a bit of rain wont hurt, but please no wind! |

Oh - is the forecast bad? After Essex 20 we are not having much luck, are we?

Well not "bad" but rain for sure, just like today... Don't think I could take another day like Essex 20

Well the weather looks just about perfect for racing where I am. I hope it's as good up at Gt Bentley. Good luck everyone! |

The rain held off at Gt Bentley, but there was a bit of cold wind. I ended up not running as I got sick yesterday, not eaten since yesterday breakfast time no sleep, back ache etc. Still went there as I was taking two runner friends along...really wanted to run but decided to be sensible. Very small field compared to normal, 361 runners. First place guy was about 1:08 4-5 minutes ahead of anyone else. Met BattleCat, controversial, SouthendAl, Bru-Bru and phyllida <waves> Was really looking forward to today, but can't alway do what we want to, and there will be other races. |

the boy did alright - no PB but he reallly hasn't put the miles in - 1:44:14 - he was the one who ran all the way round in a sun hat! His mate doing his first half got 1:41:03 - now I need to speak to them both about St Neots Lovely to speak to Battlecat and to shout at random fetchies - I'm afraid I wasn't quite sure who everybody was |
