Swanage Half Marathon

Yellow Fang There were quite a few Reading Roadrunners in this race. It was pretty hilly. Several of my clubmates said it was the hardest half marathon they had run. I didn't find it quite that bad because I did not blow up so badly as I have in my last two halves. It was pretty sunny too, but luckily not as blisteringly hot as it had threatened to be when we got up. We ran out of town along a B road to Corfe Castle where we turned left along an A road back to Swanage. The traffic got a lot worse here with a lot of caravans passing. Miles 12 to 13 were particularly tough. They went one way though town and then doubled back up a hill to make the distance. I was annoyed to be pipped on the line again by Colin with about ten yards to go. I thought I had lost him ages before. That meant he got to be in winning team with Paul, Chris and Julian. We also won the ladies' team. Saba got 2nd prize in the FV35 category. I was pleased with my time considering the hills, warm weather and lack of training. It was nearly 7 minute miles all the way around.

Tia Running this as a training run within my mara schedule so will be slow, hope to actually enjoy the run as racing this in the past I have found it a tough route due to all the hills!
