it was real good
clocking 2.17... i've got a treble run next weekend, so i was never going for sub 2 hours (ie 1.56 last year )
i know what i am capable of achieving, so it's nice to run for pleasure, then when the day is right , just go for it all guns blazing, but of course that also takes mental stamina to hold in there !
Saturday morning HM or 15 miles out of Bobbington 50k ( 2.2 mile laps )
Saturday night Hornton hilly 6
Sunday MK HM
Spectator support compared to other years i thought was virtually NIL
But i see plenty of that at rural races,
i'm in this to run, keep superiorly fit and feel real good and superiorly mentally strong, ...and of course it usually does just that
We all have bad days
And for me
the rest comes second
i do sincerely hope you all had a splendid run.. if it where your first or so HM , then congratulations
Just another run on another day for me
my mind and what little preperation i have is focused now on next weekend
Went through 4 just over 29 then my legs seemed to fall off
Averaged around 7.30 pace after 7 then lost it completely. The last 6 took longer than the first 7.
Ended up just inside 1.45, 10 mins down on what I thought I'd do.
No point worrying about it. These days happen
exactly
These days happen !!
Pure and simple
Sorry
Just read your profile as i do not know you
Just move on and treat today as a training run friend
At least you did it
The furthest I have done is 10k and thats enough for me,so hats off to you,you did it!
Absolutely Mick. It's 13 miles and an hour 45
It all goes in the bank
After a 10k pb last weekend was looking for a half pb on my pb course.
But the lack of training really showed the speed wasn't there and It was really hard going after 9 miles.
Still it was nice to see Mick and Phil again, and my mum really enjoyed her cuddle.
Mick good luck next weekend you madman.
I finished my first half marathon in 2hr,34mins. I was chuffed to bits. Looking for the next one now.
My Husband (Paul) got a bad case of cramp and struggled towards the end, 2hr,43mins.
Both tired now but really pleased we did it.
Well done to everyone. Lovely to meet you Mick & Phil - you are an amazing man.
Running Mummy.
Did we meet then ??
Where when.. i met loads of people today !
Still glad you both had good time
Take care now both !

Further category results will follow as soon as we get them.
Thanks and happy running, Trev...
it was a super High Wycombe HM as usual
Many thanks to all
last year clocking 1.56, i blew the last 3 miles to kingdom come
But i could'nt afford to today
i just though ok, an extra 20 minutes ...So what !
it's like when i 've got a marathon coming up ... i never go all out in HM's the 2 weeks previous
As usual a very well orgabised race. They do know how to do it well Handy Cross Runners. See you all next year.
I would've though that anyone reaching Bourne End would have to come back anyway along the route to pick up their kit/car whatever and hence finish the race. Despite the planned closure after 3:15, the latest recorded time was 3:32.
Now I have to mull over whether to enter Burnham Beeches next month to make up for yesterday's disappointment. Anyone else entered for it? I gather the course is a tad easier than HW.
As for Burnham, I'm entered. I struggled yesterday with a stomach bug & had to endure cramps for 10-11 miles, so didn't get the time I wanted. I'll be hoping to rectify that at Burnham in a big way. I understand the course is kinder, though as a lot of it is covered by trees, on a hot day there can be high humidity there. Do it and see ;-)
Thought the organisation was superb (despite the race appearing to start ever so slightly early) and it is easily the best value race I've done so far.
I thought the guy on the microphone was funny,telling people to get proper kit.
Take your swimming costume as there is a nice outside pool you can swim in after.
Last year I took it easy to finish in just under 2 hours then ran the last 2 miles in reverse then back to the finish for a 17 mile training run, for Abingdon marathon.
Anyone else doing it?
Abingdon marathon folkes.. were the rogue beat us !!
LOL
Did i ever tell you Mick that my fastest Mile that day was when I spotted you at 21 miles. Not cause I wanted to beat you I was so happy to see you again I just wanted to catch you up.
Apart from me finishing in under 4 hours my highlight of the day was seeing you smash your pb. 4.03.
Yes you read that right 4.03 for a full 26 miles pushing Phil. This man is awesome.
Your one of a kind Mick and we're all inspired and love you for it.
Thank you for your kindness with that post
I'll print that off and put it into my special folder for a bad day !!
Great goody bag, good value, but as was written about on here, the pavement / parked car situation also did not lend themselves to a pb. Good marshalling, and I used every sponge going!!
My hubbys number was 444 you would think he would have smiled for the camera!
The photos are much more reasonable than the photos I ordered from the dorney dash.
Thank you , your kind !!
And what was your number?
I'm glad you liked the post I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. Your a real hero.
Old man LOL
We were No 2
paper..no idea
Subject of hero
Course i amm ...
LMAO
