from my Torun blog...


This was the day of the half marathon. Like the 10K it was well organised. I noticed, as an LCHF runner that refuellers were concerned about their gels. I noticed lots of illegalities. Runners only wearing one number for instance. I cruised this race, I still had that 10K in my legs. I caught up with the 75-year-old Slovakian guy who I was so close to in the 10K. At the end I caught and pushed (metaphorically not literally) past a British girl. We helped each other to the finish line. I collected my second team silver, this time with Geoffrey Newton and Andrew Murray. We waited two hours for our presentation. I didn’t have anything to eat until very late in the day. I did need electrolyte tablets though and I had to ration my tube of 20. Next time I will take two tubes and I will make sure they are a sport informed approved brand. SIS Go Hydro for example.

I did the Elan Valley 10 mile road race. It was tough and hilly. Downhill for a mile and a half. The steepest hill was from just before two miles to just past 3 miles at which point the highest point in the race is reached. After that it is undulating but mostly undulating downwards. I was in front of Paul Dursly, Mike Pobjoy and Emma Malony. John Malony was about a minute in front of me.
