Sicup 10 mile race

Before the race...

Well the week has really ended on a high with the Sidcup 10 today. Claire picked me up at 8.45 and off we went.  No supporters this time, just the 2 of us, which was fine and actually really fun.  We found it easily and checked in, got sorted and met some friends from Queen Bees.. The weather was sooooo cold but we knew we would soon get warm so kept the layers to a minimum.


...And after, still fresh as daisies..??!!
The route was er, grim?! There were roadworks on the pavements, pylons in the middle of suburban roads, petrol stations to look at and cars to dodge. But we loved it!!  It was a 3 lapper which sounded awful, but at least we knew where we were, we decided to approach it as 3 parkruns! So we went for it and got off to a flying start.  We stayed together and then after 8 miles Claire did a Mo and kicked back.  She finished 4 mins ahead of me.  I did it in 1 hr 34 mins, with no walking breaks.  I am so chuffed! Tea and cake followed, all very civilised.
