We ran through forest, on gravel paths and some tarmac then
out through a flat open bit very cold due to that fierce unforgiving wind
again -- very stark and dull . I felt so sorry for the poor marshalls doing a
great job encouraging us all - but looking so blue with the cold ! A few
muddy bits and forest again then back over a railway bridge to the college so
good to be back and finished --- but then we had to run round the sports field
to finish -- only a kilometer said the marshall a few swear words later I
finished not a nice finish at all but we did it ! Well done to Zira who
completed in 2hrs 4mins her 1st half marathon for over a year good one Zira !!
And me? As usual a slow one 2hrs 9mins --- one day I will
get back to a sub 2hrs !
So overall quite a tough half BUT a really well organised
one - great parking, great facilities , lovely goody bag with t-shirt and
medal , well marshalled , loads of drink stations on route ( 5 I think ) ,
Lovely cheap home made cakes at the finish in the Sports Hall AND the most
important ---ALL---- the proceeds go to the Oakhaven Hospice in Lymington -- so
come WVR we could get a team together for next year-- yes ??
Luv Pam & Zira x
