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

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!
