Richard118 Fantastic :)

-Pre Race-
Ate Wheater-bix and bread and butter for breakfast... then loaded up on Jaffa Cakes on the way in the car... with the odd Red Bull... Weather conditions were perfect for me....

-Race-
Quick start... Halfway I realised I might be in with a chance of 1HR 30MINS when I crossed the halfway point at 45MINSish.... managed to keep up with the other 1hr 30 runners... though began to slip away around 8 miles... But kept up a good pace throughout.... The hill toward the end of both laps really took a lot out of me though... Around 10miles I could feel my calves and top of my leg beginning to ache but managed to push through it.... Came round the last corner and sprinted across the line.... Probably the best feeling of my life.

-Post Race-
When I stopped my hamstrings and calves really hurt... struggled to walk... 3 hours later i feel a little better... going to go chill with a Bulmers :-) Unaffiliated 1:26:15 1:32:05 1:37:00 1:32:05 63.00

Mrs Gandhi Lined up with Gandhi, KK and CY.  Started off very bunched together and trying to avoid puddles.  2 lap race with a bad hill at mile 6 and 12.  Managed to run the whole race although struggled on the last 2 miles.  Nice to see Mile Muncher,FF and also my daughter Claire and her partner Scott with his son Cameron.  Very cold.  Really enjoyed the day. Coltishall Jaguars 2:06:23 2:06:23 2:08:17 63.63
