Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes it was tougher than I was expecting, or maybe just still tired from the week before.
Yep, a bit of rain wont hurt, but please no wind!

Well not "bad" but rain for sure, just like today...
Don't think I could take another day like Essex 20 :(

Well the weather looks just about perfect for racing where I am. I hope it's as good up at Gt Bentley.

Good luck everyone!

The rain held off at Gt Bentley, but there was a bit of cold wind.
I ended up not running as I got sick yesterday, not eaten since yesterday breakfast time
no sleep, back ache etc.
Still went there as I was taking two runner friends along...really wanted to run but decided to be sensible.
Very small field compared to normal, 361 runners.

First place guy was about 1:08 4-5 minutes ahead of anyone else.

Met BattleCat, controversial, SouthendAl, Bru-Bru and phyllida <waves>
Was really looking forward to today, but can't alway do what we want to, and there will be other races.

the boy did alright - no PB but he reallly hasn't put the miles in - 1:44:14 - he was the one who ran all the way round in a sun hat! His mate doing his first half got 1:41:03 - now I need to speak to them both about St Neots :-)
Lovely to speak to Battlecat and to shout at random fetchies - I'm afraid I wasn't quite sure who everybody was
