VAC and London Championships 🥇

[RunBrianRun]

Hi everyone I just wanted to say thank you for your Pom Pom support for my race on Saturday.

In what was one of the most exciting races of the season so far I managed to beat the legend that is Pat “the bullet” Logan by just .01 of a second in a neck and neck race 🥵 .

To be fair to him he has hardly raced since the indoor world championships but we are both really happy as we achieved season’s best performances of 12.86 and 12.87 respectively.

My next race is a double 100 at the London Community Track in Newham on Sunday where I’ll be hoping for an even better time.

The photo is of my two Brighton and Hove masters friends, Gerry and Jimson. Gerry on my right is 77 years young and is running 100s in around 15-16 seconds. He’s a real inspiration.

And if that isn’t enough inspiration the Para Olympics have been incredible haven’t they so far?

Gerry won two golds and Jimson gold in the 200.

Happy running everyone 😊

Happy running Brian, it's so inspiring seeing what you can do

[TailChaser Marathon]

Brilliant Brian! You’re all pretty amazing!

I’ve just been watching the wheelchair rugby, always a good one. Disappointed for David Weir in his races though. Haven’t watched enough of it this time though.

All the very best with Newham (the track won’t be a patch on Tooting though 😉) 👏👏

Congratulations RunBrianRun ! Wasn't this another championship-winning performance, not simply your latest meet? Enjoy Newham!

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Woohoo RunBrianRun , you’re the one to beat now, and will be the legend everyone is talking about! You’ve been our HU legend for a long time though, you know that!

Your bling hanger is getting impressive! Keep those medals coming, we’re loving it 😍

The Paralympics are truly inspirational, I agree. I’ve watched quite a lot this time round, and have really enjoyed it. ❤️

Brian you are amazing!

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Well done Brian, a win by a whisker, and It’s great when it goes your way. Loving your GB running top, it will be very useful as temperatures reduce.

Good luck at Newham at the weekend- it’s all go isn’t it?

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Hi Dexy Here’s me thinking Newham will be my last race and what do I do? Sign up for the Portsmouth open 😅

Let’s see 😂

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to RunBrianRun]

Ooh is that at Mountbatten running track? Do let me know the date and I’ll see if we are about! Not to distract you from the race, but to cheer you on in the stands, if there are stands?

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Hi Dexy , yes it is the Mountbatten track. Gerry is also going and there may be a few other vets there too. It would be great to see VRBs there! It’s on Sunday 22nd September. It’s notoriously a low key and poorly attended event and if the weather is not good, there’s very little cover. I don’t mind the rain but if the wind isn’t favourable (I.e. a tailwind), then I won’t go as it’s not a race but a time trial and I need a quick time for the rankings.

The event starts at 10:00 but my race isn’t till 12:20.

Hopefully it’ll be well attended and it’s a lovely day and you are able to come along! Pom poms at the ready 🥳😀😂

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to RunBrianRun]

Yes our support will definitely be weather dependent too. I will PM you nearer the time.

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Brilliant Brian. Huge congrats to all of you. I think there may be whispers about you being a legend in your own right now! 🏆

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]
