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

Funny title I hear you say...
Well - funny race.
Apparently the lead car has a TIA and took the lead runners the wrong way - and so in order for it to be officially a race - the organisers sent everyone the wrong way too! Having not run the race before, I assumed that I'd had a GPS mini-stroke, and that the Mile markers weren't out by over half a mile at all!
Much disgruntlement at the end, it has to be said - and the Race Director - in his Goldfish bowl at 'Results Central' was looking somewhat harassed.

Funny that!

Anyway - the race.

On the way there, it started to snow. Hmmmm though I - might be a bit nippy then! Better actually warm up before this one for a change. So - did the normal runners' necessaries (as you do) and went to plod a few times around the track just to get the blood coursing and hopefully avoid any silly - muscles are cold injury type thingies!

And we were off (2 mins after the official start time) - and it was........ bliddy freezing!

It  had been suggested that I would be able to get under 1:35

.... a suggestion which I went

kozzie Adjusted time after the slight error with lead car! Ran without a watch so there's obviously a lesson in that one. Felt good the whole way round.
