I did find it hard but I finished! 2 hours 29 minutes, so about where I thought I'd be after my last 10 mile run. It was very warm. Beautiful Cotswold villages to go through. Apparently 1750 runners, so biggest race I've taken part in. There were pacers- which I found very useful so I don't think I rushed the start as I usually do. I ran with jelly babies and my water vest with an extra electrolyte bottle - (I sweat tons) The electrolyte drink helped as I felt like I was getting a dehydration headache with just water.... but that might just have been me stressing about getting there! We had crisps in our finish bag but not the promised teeshirt then I saw others with them so I must have missed where they were! Thank you for the pom pom waving - it helps!!!

Fabulous! Well done!!! It sounds like a nice pretty event. Maybe you could contact the race organisers and track down a belated T-shirt?

Wonderful! Many run organisers are so, so helpful if you ask. Often it's just one or two people and they really want everyone to be happy 😊

Well done and congratulations πŸ₯³πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ’ͺ that sounds a lovely route. Did they close the roads?

I remember visiting Tewkesbury Abbey as a teenager and thinking it was all very romantic 😍

Hope the legs are ok today and you are still enjoying the post-run glow πŸ€—

Some roads were closed but not all. Yes I had visited the Abbey previously too - it is beautiful. I'm so please to report my legs are recovering much quicker than usual so I'm really chuffed my strength training paid off 😁
