How better to start a holiday
and to celebrate fathers day than to do a swift 10k
 |
| The competition was tough! |
road race. After the choppy
ferry crossing from Portsmouth
on the Saturday the weather
was almost tropical. The route was undulating! I did
not know the island was so hilly! |
Fast finish meant official
photographer missed me entirely!!
|
I have to admit it was not a very exciting
route and a lot of it was running on A roads with the traffic (running in the
same direction as the traffic, causing a pretty bad congestion problem).
 |
Lap of honour!
|
The competition consisted of
72 other runners, nearly all of which were from the island, I think there were
5 runners from the mainland.
 |
| Post-race drinks! |
I managed 13th
place out of 73, which I felt was a respectable place, a guy from leeds I talked
to prior to the race came in 4th, so a good northern performance all
round I thought.
 |
Graceful in defeat I smile
for the camera with the winner!!!!
|
Not sure I would recommend it, but glad I did
it.
