Windsurfin' Susie I had a great race: 20:36.9 - I've never done something measured in tenths before! Lap times: 50 (200m) 97 98 97 97 99 99 99 100 102 102 99 92 The times are the least important part: I finished 4th and was 3rd scorer behind Karen Hazlitt and A.N.Other. I beat Jane Georgiou and Tina Turner (NO, the other one), 2 runners whom I've admired for years and never got anywhere near before. I am so pleased! I ran as Havant's B stream runner 'for political reasons' but was top scorer, lapping my W50 team mate, a V35 Winchester runner, and possibly someone else - memory hazy there. I ran a pretty even race - the slowing down approaching the final mile was largely because Tina and Jane were slowing and I sat behind them for a bit before deciding I could push past at 800m. Ignoring Karen Hazlitt for a moment, I went out with the lead pack, which felt so good - I let the others go ahead a little bit, but was able to pick off 2 or 3 in the first half, before realising I might get some major scalps in the last half. I ran behind Bev, our Havant guest runner, for most of the race, took her and Tina at about 800m and Jane at 400m but Bev had a huge kick and took me easily in the last 100m. Karen was in a league of her own. She lapped the entire field before half way and then cruised the rest of the race. It was very hot. It felt very tough. I enjoyed it enormously!
