My finishing time of 1:47:56 makes it sound like an unusually slow run......
First off I queued up for 20 mins at the wrong venue!!!Was chatting to Bob Fickel and suddenly realised that S.M.C. were having a race literally 500mts away.Got to right venue with minutes to spare.
We were told about the course and told to follow the lead bicycle- unfortunately no one had told HIM the course - after running for a while the bicycle suddenly turned around and passed us and the lead runners stopped.
We had to turn around and run back.I wanted to re start the run and stopped while most people started down the right path.I got to the 3km mark in just under 17 mins so it was going to have a large effect on the results.I was happy to get the over 50's record in any case and finish 3rd overall - on what was a very hot day.When I got back in the car it showed 35C on the dash....
Pancakes etc great after the run.When the presentation came though I was handed my trophy - "First male over 70"!!!!They had sent the wrong one and promised to send me an exchange plaque!!!.
My toes were unfortunately very sore in this despite rubbing Voltaren into them contantly and remain a big issue to running longer runs.
