Yes that is us, not the soon to be successful England football team.
This morning we completed the Harbour Capital half-marathon and 10K.
10C, strong southerly wind to chill the bones a bit more and rain. What do you expect when you organise a race at the beginning of winter?
Preparation has not been ideal. Bad weather makes for less training, and the athletes curse- a viral illness in the week of the race did not help. However, the adults were all “Skins”-uped, which I am sure helped with muscle fatigue in the conditions.
So the ‘scores-on-the-doors’:
Sara completed in 2-03, a magnificent 10 minutes faster than in February.
Tel finished in 1-52, a much more satisfactory time. All was feeling good until the last 3k when the legs seized.
Joe did a fine 63 minutes.
No photos of us this time as we left Isaac and Eleanor at home. We did not think we could justify hypothermia just to take some pics and shout “common on” three times.
So what next on the athletic horizon? To be decided when the legs function again!
