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
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Notes & Comments

Hard road racing for the first time in ages. Wind was right up so hard work for the first 2 miles along the prom. Took the lions share of the work at the front of the 2nd pack as the pace wasn't going hard enough. Plenty of folk happy to sit in behind me, but only a few taking a turn at the front. Doesn't bother me much as I just decided to run my own race. Once we came off the prom I started to push on and there's always plenty of fast runners at the front of the turkey trot.

Once we'd been round the houses there was a bit more work to do into the wind as we headed back for the prom, then a spectacular 2 mile finishing straight with a 25mph tail wind. It was actually hard work to get the legs turning over fast enough to do it justice. Few folk from the pack passed me here, and I passed a few as well struggling off the back of the leading pack.

6.19 6.16 5.39 5.52 5.42 5.28 1.06

36:20 official time. 12th place.

On a better day this would have been a 35 minute run. :)

Great run Davie, was saying to Connell I had you own as Man of the Match. Yip, got to say I agree with you re the start - way too slow. I did my stint at the front but far too many folk happy to go with the flow. Like you I suspect, Im now wishing we'd bit the bullet and and tagged onto the lead group as they weren't too far ahead but these things happen.
Please wait... saving your change.
