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 😊

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 😉) 👏👏
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. ❤️
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?
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.
