Strong finish Cookie!

Felt like I was going faster than I looked in that clip

Legs felt good coming up to top of second hill, because I hadn`t been running as hard to start with & I was a lot fitter than a practise run 6-8 weeks previously. So decided near the crest when I was passing a few more to just go for it.

Loved every second of passing each & everyone of them on that sprint.

Pity wife wasn`t on the other side of road or she would have caught me zig zagging through a couple of them as I sprinted up towards her on the video.

I noticed same thing last year as well. Now I have done it I can practise that more as we get closer to the race next year. I will be looking out for some sacks similar to there`s next year to get an even better feel of the way it is packed looser & a much more slipper material than the ones I have been using.

Nothing on the local tv yet, all they showed yesterday was the sodding election garbage

One in here just after the gun went off http://photosbyken.digimig.co.uk/c1833452.html about 30+ pictures down.

That clips shows how fast I managed to get up to better than the earlier clip & how much was still left in the tank after the gradual start I was forced to use to protect the injury.

[Scott]

now if you can hit next years race injury free..........
one or two raised eyebrows at the finish line perhaps

Does anyone down there take bets on it? I'd stick a few quid on you.

Thats the goal

I`ll be rasining eyebrows if they bring out a pee bottle

Never heard of it but it may happen between mates.
