Run > Race

Bushfield frostbite. Had been ill and should've been in bed but wanted to come and run for the team. Trying to protect my 43-0 FB record. Thought I could run 33-34 mins. Found myself 11th WJ man at 1.2M as Calvin sailed past me.

Worked back to be 10th WJ man at 3.8M passed Gingerwand and then he clipped my heels with a Norman Hunter style tackle. Not sure if this was malicious or whether the torrent of sweat pouring off his bald dome had got in his eyes. Will give him benefit of the doubt and assume the latter as he mumbled some sort of lame apology which was difficult to hear as I struggled to regain my balance.

Could see Mr HH (who was having a storming run), Malc and Justin in my sights and decided to man up and push the last mile. Dragged myself up the flyover and was running on memory of past glories at this stage. Really hard work and hanging on for last 100m. But made it into scoring tema and 44-0. Was my slowest ever run on this course in 9 attempts. 1st time out of top 100 in years as well.

Great runs from so many WJ's lots of support from those running and not running. Cake and chat afterwards and this race showed what our club is about.
