Very very tired. Eight years since I ran that race; I knew it was a bit hilly but I'd forgotten quite how annoyingly 'undulating' it was. Still, thanks to today's result I've crept up to Coyote (61) level in the race standards. I need to find a completely flat 10k to get any higher this year. Or maybe run a decent virtual mile (as if ;-) )

Well done Idris!

Long run today and it was stupidly humid, I just couldn’t manage to go as far as I planned so I’m a bit cross with myself :(

Thanks all for the luck. I wasn’t sure how I would go (or even if I’d make it round) but managed 1:53 which I’m really pleased with given how little training I’ve done. Last few miles were a bit painful but I hung on. The organisation, however, was not far off shambolic. May blog later 😁

Cheeky’s Dad were you wearing a Fetch T-shirt? If so, you were just behind Mr PL. I missed the T shirt but he saw it!

I had a black Fetch vest on The Pin Lady. I know there were a couple of other Fetchies there but I didn’t see any ☹️ Hoping I may catch up with a few in Chester
