Maidenhead Half Marathon
Well organised first running of this event, got off at 9.32am. Muggy morning, making the first few miles warm but rain was promised and arrived around the time I got to Mile 8, very welcome it was too!
Route out from Maidenhead towards Bray via Bray Marina, on to Cookham and back into Maidenhead. A really nice, flattish course with good support in the villages and town.
I passed a lady from Reading Roadrunners at Mile 9 and was determined not to let her get ahead of me before the finish, she didn't - club rivalry in Reading - NEVER!!
I pulled up at Mile 10 with a 'niggle' in left calf and tried to stretch it / massage it out - nothing changed so I carried on. When I went to up the pace in the last 500m the niggle became very painful and I ended up limping to the finish! . My first running injury not bought about by a fall! It hurts to try to stretch so I wont, I will rest it a bit and see how it goes. So gladI remembered to tke a change of clothes with me, I could have rung out all layers of running gear!
First half - Av pace 7.46
End of Race Av pace 7.51
Now it's time for that glass of wine I have been promising myself all week............
I would do this one again

I hope it's only a niggle and nothing more, fast time all considered.
Just clicked on your 'Wilderbeast' tag and got one myself, not sure I'll ever reach gold.
Welldone I found it very hard in the first half the hummidity was 89% when I got home, I enjoyed the rain on this occasion.
