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

Lyds Really disappointed in myself. Went through the first km in 6:15, second in 6:30; felt good and was well on track for a pb. Then it all went wrong! My left ankle started hurting at about 2k and to add insult to injury (quite literally) I went over on the same ankle whilst going over some uneven patches of grass. After that it was a case of combining running and hobbling to try to ease the pain. It was so frustrating to see that pb gradually slipping away and by 4k I knew it was impossible. Did manage to run the last 500m to come as close as I could to 36mins. Crossed the line and burst into tears cos I was so angry with myself. 
As far as the race goes, Race for Life always seems to well organised although the course itself wasn't great cos it was narrow so difficult to get past slower runners/walkers. But RFl isn't about getting pB's its about raising money for a fantastic cause and it's an emotional experience seeing so many women come together, many with very personal experiences of cancer.
Sorry to anyone who bet on me!
