Running Caz Wedgenock - last race of the 4 in the series, and I did it, I WON. 1st female overall and got to drive a tank over a car as a prize :-) Was a tough old slog though. Got there legs feling really heavy and then met the illusive Helen Trudge who was 2nd lady and very keen to drive a tank. It was the lady I suspected from previous races and I knew she would start fast as I don'tusually pass her til at least half way. As usual she sped off and went right out of sight at one stage, which worried me. I had promised to start slow as I was worried I would burn out as last time I struggles with the course this way round. However, I got carried away with the competition and started too fast. However, it paid off and I had caught Helen by 4M. I spoke to her after and she told me she was expecting me :-) She had clocked who I was and knew I usually passed her around that point. I waited til I felt strong enough to pass confidently and then never looked back. I kept telling myself it was in the bag and that I didn't need to bust a gut but easier said than done. Pace slowed but then there are 2 kissing gates and a fair bit of slow incline in that last full mile, however, I was burning out and by the time I crossed the line I felt sick and VERY dizzy and wobbly. Did it though and had Rich there to welcome me back with a huge smile on his face. He helped me to stay upright. Helen came in about 1min later. My feet had been really hurting the whole way round and by the end were REALLY sore. Found I had managed to rip 50p size piece of skin off the inside of my right foot, DOH!! Race the Train on Sat un all!! Worth it though :-) The tank ride was GREAT!! :-) Cobra RC 52:49 56.68
