Results for the Shakespeare Marathon and Half Marathon, 07-May-2017
Thanks to Mitch for the following report:
Yet another superbly well organised event today. Cool to start, but soon warmed up. Great support on route, especially on the lap around the town. Five water stations and plenty of water for those doing both laps for the full marathon. Talking of which, bumped into Hamilton at the start and Jackie and I ran the first 4 miles with him. He was having a ‘rest day’ today, just doing the full marathon, following his recent spate of midweek ultras. Lost count of the number of times the mere glimpse of a blue and gold vest prompted the question “Where’s Imran today?”. Fortunately, on this occasion, I knew the answer, as he was doing the Lichfield half marathon, thereby joining Jackie and myself in completing 8 races in 9 days (just over 56 miles). Well done mate, I’m sure your ‘Bookface’ public will be delighted at your achievement J Time for a rest now……
Btw, interesting medals, picturing Puck, the hogoblin in Act 2 Scene1 of Shakepeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and citing his quotation “I’ll put a girdle round the earth in forty minutes”. Good quiz question that……
Results for the Pembrokeshire Coastal Trail Race, 29-Apr-17
Well done to Phil Wilson, Bryan Pears and Stuart Banbrook. Thanks to Phil for the following report:
Myself, Bryan and Stuart took part in this event. There are various distances you can enter. 10k, half, marathon and ultra. A cottage was booked and we had a long weekend near Haverfordwest with our wives in support plus Garry & Karen. The race is on Saturday which allows for plenty of rehydration time. The event started and finished in the pretty coastal village of Little Haven. Obviously each distance maximises the use of the coastal path with its ups and downs. There are 4 checkpoints on the ultra and you have to carry safety gear. This was not needed as the day was quite calm.
