What a fabulous event. ๐Ÿฅฐ Iโ€™d entered ages ago and assumed it would be called off like most other races this year, so when I got the email saying it was going ahead as a time trial, (although the accompanying HM was ditched), I was thrilled! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I couldnโ€™t wait for this morning. My start time was 10:37:30 - runners were setting off every 10 seconds and we werenโ€™t meant to be there too early. Iโ€™m an early bird and consequently I found myself pacing around the house! I did do a yoga session to limber me up. ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

It was a beautiful day, a full 14 degrees cooler than when I did the race last year, and there was a nice breeze, but it was still remarkably warm, especially on the home leg back up and over the bridge. Itโ€™s not a flat race, thatโ€™s for sure, but my lockdown running mainly on trails, and hardly ever on the flat, really worked. I came in with an official time of 1hr 13m 42s - a good chunk off last yearโ€™s 27 degree time of 1hr 42 ish! Itโ€™s also a 10k PB for me by over 2.5 minutes. ๐Ÿ˜€

There was an amusing sign saying โ€œitโ€™s a lot of hard work for a free bananaโ€, but that banana was very welcome I can tell you. ๐ŸŒ The bling is beautiful too. ๐Ÿ…I wore it proudly back to the car, actually feeling quite emotional that this race was able to go ahead. It was stripped right down, but in the current circumstances it was perfect.

Thank you Severn Bridge. I will be back. โค๏ธ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

Iโ€™m not sure how it could with large PRโ€™s Al. There were consistently 500+ at Eastville and it would take all morning. I hope PR finds a workable solution as I do miss it. ๐Ÿฅบ

Whoop whoop whoop Cheekychipmunks . It official - you have abandoned your fellow snails. Only 1 min behind my flat 10k PB now so you are definitely one to watch.

It must have been so hard waiting for your time slot - all those butterflies ๐Ÿฆ‹ ๐Ÿฆ‹ ๐Ÿฆ‹

How wonderful though to run in a proper race, and the Severn bridge sounds the perfect place to be able to space people out. I thought of you as I was running my 6k with a northerly breeze and thought how it would be nice and cool for you, and help to blow you home.

Love the medal. The picture says it all. We will be there next year. ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Thanks lovely Dexy5 ! It would be sooooo fantastic to run it with you next year. Itโ€™s such a cool course and the bridge is so majestic. I have a real fondness for it - way more character than its big brash brother, the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge.

But yes they did a magnificent job. Plenty of hand sanitizer around, a help yourself water station at 6k (I took my own), help yourself bling and banana and lots of friendly faces. ๐Ÿฅฐ

I loved it! โค๏ธ

cheekychipmunks profile image
cheekychipmunksHalf Marathonโ€ข in reply toTasha99

Aww Tasha99 , so sorry yours couldnโ€™t go ahead. I guess because Severn Bridge isnโ€™t an overly large race even in normal times. It attracts mainly people from South Wales and Bristol according to the organisers, which is why they decided to make a go of it.

Do you at least get a virtual option so you can get your bling? ๐Ÿ…
