I love Henley Half - Really I do!!!!

Started off trying to be cautious if a little too fast, found the first 6 miles relatively easy - knowing that the hill was looming, I have never let the hill beat me before but my lack of fitness told and my breathing suffered - I had to walk a while to take deep breaths as I was getting lightheaded. Brian stayed with me from mile 5 and wouldn't let me walk too far so he got me going again up the hill with lots of positive remarks - I really would have struggled to get going again without his support.
Steady paced then for the last few miles -finished in one piece, which was my goal, cant wait to do it again next year!

I had told Aidan I would be about 1:50 - not bad guesswork
