My race this evening

[RunBrianRun]

I’m very happy today as I ran new personal best in the 100 metres at the British Milers Club event in Brighton this evening. I felt strong and quite relaxed which really helped.

I was with a huge mix of ages and came 4th. My time is was 12.99 which places me 2nd in the U.K. at this early point in the season. That gives mean age graded % of 90.94 and an age graded time of 10.77.

Should I remain in the top 10 at the end of the season I’ll be very happy.

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Wow Brian, you are doing incredibly well at this short distance running. 90.94% is totally amazing. You are looking great on it too. Do they have a veterans Olympics?

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy. There isn’t an Olympics but there are national, European and world masters events. It’s incredibly competitive and amazing to be a part of. There are some truly inspirational athletes especially in the older age categories.

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to RunBrianRun]

given your late start to running , you are truly inspirational.

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

That’s very sweet of you to say. I hope I can provide inspiration to others here especially as this is my virtual running spiritual home.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Speedy Brian strikes again 💥 What an incredible result! Second in the UK? Wow. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

2nd for now Cheeky, but the season is young and lots of runners have yet to set their opening times. I just hope I can make the top 10 at the end. That’s my aim. 🤞

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

We’re behind you all the way Brian. Literally if we were in a race! 😅

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

[OldManRunning Half Marathon]

Great sprinting RunBrianRun, I don't think I could run it that fast when I was young 😂 😂

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to OldManRunning]

Thanks OMR I was pretty speedy as a youngster. Just goes to slow that fast twitch muscles can rejuvenate!

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

Wow that’s amazing RunBrianRun 🎉😃

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Mudita11]

Thank you Mudita11 😊

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Fantastic running Brian. Those stats are amazing. No mention of niggles this week either; it sounds as though everything has just fallen into place nicely….or rather you have put them there with really hard work. 👏👏👏👏🏆🥇

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Thank you BC, My bones ache a bit today but otherwise the sticky tape is holding me together well. I’m having a few days break and then back to it with some plyos and hopefully another track session before the weekend’s races.

[Oldfloss Administrator]

Huge well done to you!

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you OF 😊

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Wow, that’s fabulous Brian! Many congratulations and very well done to you. I know you’ve worked hard for this and you deserve the success. Those are amazing achievements 💪

Brian, I owe you an apology. I didn't include you in the pompom post last Friday. Stupidly I didn't look at the early May events spreadsheet. But, given your results, I don’t think it got in your way 🙂

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you, IP, no need to apologise I hadn’t noticed. 😅 I’ll definitely need a shout out for the weekend though as I’m racing on both days at the Sussex Champs. For the first time they’re running the Sussex Masters Champs within the event and there’s medals up for grabs!! Go me! Veloce 🏃‍♂️

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

I hope that's next weekend, 13th-14th May RunBrianRun ? Because if it's this one, 6th-7th, I need to add you to the pompoms nearly as fast as you can run!

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Yes. It’s 13th/14th weekend after this. Sorry about that. I am in a time warp. 😂

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Frankly I'd like to be in a time warp right now. Can I come and join you?

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Of course, you’re most welcome. 😂
