Buzzards Sis Great race. Very friendly and well marshalled. Nasty hills though, including one about 2 miles long that has to be tackled twice in the 2 lap race. Although, what goes up must come down... Did much better than I thought and tried to stay with the pack I settled down with rather than drifting back. Worked well but I probably ran the first lap too fast as legs began to loose power bit at the end. Still, only speed, not stamina suffered so I am feeling quietly confident at this stage for half-marathons and marathons later in the year.

John66 I'll predict nearer the time if my calf is up to it.  Don't bet on me as may do this as a run/walk

Phew

Met BBLB (and boy) at the car park, Andrew 65 at the start and was overtaken by Kimberlina after about 5m.  The hills up weren't over-steep but seemed to go on for an eternity.  The hills down were shorter, steeper and quicker.  Lots of mud and wind made for what I thought was a quite demanding course.  Longest distance I've ever done either in training or racing so got to be fairly happy even though the time was slow.

Kimberlina Wow what a hard race,  was lovely to meet BooBoo and Matt at the start.  I started off slowly as it was really muddy and I didn't want to slip half way down the hill I noticed that my number was hanging off so I stopped to pin in back on which.  Managed to get up Ebbisham without much difficulty but was just taking it easy. Got to 3 miles in 33 mins,  and then managed to get to 4 in 10,  then bumped into JohnL and had a little chat.   Managed to see Cameron and Mum just at start off 2nd lap.  Noticed that bl**dy number was hangin off again so I had to stop and pin it back on.  My legs were really hurting I really find it hard running in mud,  by time I reached Ebbisham again I was struggling a bit and had to take a few walk breaks.  The jelly babies at the water station were a godsend,  a had a couple of those and got a second wind and managed to get a better pace going,  zoomed along to mile 9 then struggled a bit up the last hill and had to take a few walk breaks,  in front of me was a man who looked about 80 and I thought there is no way I can let him beat me so with about 500m to go I managed to zoom past him and was cheered on by Mr Kimberlina, Mum and Cameron and the finish.

I was very organised in the morning and had put a beef casserole on before I headed off the the race,  had that when I got in and then literally collapsed on floor in front of tele and dozed for a couple of hours,  I felt more exhausted from this race than when I had done my half marathons.  But all in all I am glad I done it. Wimbledon Windmilers 1:40:21 1:52:45 1:52:45 44.11
