HUHM Spring 2021 HM report

[David_G]

Hi everyone, I did my HM by the seaside at Bognor Regis this morning. The weather was relatively kind apart from a strong wind, which meant running into a headwind for the 5th to 7th, 10th to 13th and brutally the 18th km. The upside was that I had a tailwind from 14th to 17th km which helped a bit!🙂 I did it in just over 2.5 hours so I’m pleased with that. Thanks so much to Linda9389, Roseabi and everyone else who contributed to this great event. The RunGo app worked perfectly and I followed the London Landmarks HM virtual commentary while listening to the HUHM playlist on Spotify. What an experience it was, it’s one I’ll remember for a long time!

It also completed my Lands End to John O’Groats virtual challenge. That took 224 calendar days (196 running days) and it took me 159:06:12 hours to run the whole way🏃‍♂️👍

Now for a celebration I think! 🍾🥂🥳

Huge congratulations, David. Those winds were bad enough here so I can’t imagine how much worse they were by the sea. Hope you are taking it easy now.

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

Great work - the commentary was definitely a huge contribution to the experience wasn't it!

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Yes, the commentary somehow made me feel part of something bigger! The words of encouragement were great too! 🙂👍

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Definately celebration time! Well done!

[CBDB]

Wow! Both LEJOG and HUHM! Brill! And I see your combination of the Freetrain vest and the Aonijie Hydration rucksack!

(You gave me actually the idea to run with both belt and Freetrain vest, which I do now on longer runs and it feels good and works perfectly! )👍🏽🙌👏

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to CBDB]

Thanks CBDB, yes they’re a great combination. I hardly noticed I was wearing them to be honest😊
