BenDy First race after recovering from injury picked up running FLM 2005.  Knocked 17 minutes of my PB from March '02.  Weather was truly awful, pissed with rain & blew a gail the whole way round.  I'd have been dryer & warmer in the bath! Bishops Stortford RC 1:44:01 1:45:54 1:50:00 1:45:54 54.74
Bod Hoping for a PB and first sub 1.55. Gonna give it a go and see how it goes????

Jimbo In what must have been the worst conditions I have ever ran in, I somehow managed to blow away PB's at nearly every mile marker. My finish time of 1:34:34 was well beyond my expectations. A great end to the season and a real positive to take in to 2006.

monki Full race report to follow, once I have been sent the pics.  Let's just say there was sideways wind, endless drizzle, underpasses, and four minutes spent on the side of the road covered in blood, wondering whether to carry on or not.  Then, for good measure, I tripped over in the stadium in the final 200 m.

The moral of the story is kids, NEVER WEAR A BRIGHT YELLOW HAT.  (Oh, and tie your running shoes sensibly).

I was cruising, I tells ya, cruising.  I was on course to beat every ruddy PB I have and ruined it all by eating pavement.  Sigh.

I'm not even giving myself the two seconds that I didn't switch the watch off for.  That's the kind of mood I'm in. Unaffiliated 1:35:18 1:48:01 1:55:00 1:48:01 53.74
