That was awesome! My first running event other than Parkrun, and it was brilliant. The weather was perfect - clear blue skies, not much wind, not too hot.

Thanks to everyone who’s been sharing advice and tips - it’s been really helpful to make sure I’m prepared for this.

And I’m really pleased with the time too! I took it easy for the first few km and then ramped it up. By the end I wasn’t completely wiped out and could have gone on longer, which was what I was aiming for feeling.

My knee is a little but niggly, but nowhere near how painful it’s been.

Lovely to see friends from school after the event to celebrate their fundraising for a new computer room, and to devour some much needed calories at Honest Burger afterwards.

All in all, that totally went to plan! Next one at the end of March...
