10k bling alert!🙂🏃🏽‍♀️🏅

[Sandraj39]

Lovely local 10k event this morning - both me and my husband had a great time in the West Sussex countryside running along the country lanes and paths! Fantastically well organised and friendly event. The course was great, a little up and down in places but nothing too challenging. Lots of local residents popped out to cheer everyone on! Marshalls were fantastic. Over the finish line for my lovely bling🏅, goody bag, water and banana. Enjoyed a hot dog and ice cream in the sun on the village green afterwards. We will definately be back for this one next year, despite the small challenge of getting out of the field set aside for parking! One poor car hit a rut in the mud and damaged their fuel pipe (I think?). They had to be carted away by the AA and fire engine on site! A new route out of the field for the rest of us with the marshalls giving directions over a loud hailer - "second gear and keep your pace up! Go, go!". Hilarious! Back home - chip time of 1:03:01, which I am pleased with, considering the challenges I have had at times with my running over the last year. Very happy me!😀 Hope everyone has enjoyed their running this weekend.🙂

Excellent time Sandra, well done 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to TedG]

Many thanks! Not too shabby for 53yrs but a good few minutes of my PB. I plan to address that though...! 🙂

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

I don’t think I’ll get much quicker at 69 🙄

My brother isn’t too far from you...Burgess Hill. He did the Hayward’s Heath 10 Mile last weekend.... nearly killed him with heat and hills 😱

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to TedG]

That sounds tough!😫 We're just over the West Sussex border in Surrey. Only about 20mins from the run today.🙂

Distance not speed for us maybe, Ted x

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Absolutely Floss, but I can’t help being competitive with myself ☺️

No cow pats in our parking field thank goodness - with the way wheels were spinning!!😧 ..but yes, lots of leafy lanes!

You're well and truly back Sandra! That sounds a lovely run but not sure about the car park thing 😕 Pat on the back for the marshalls, they sound fab.
