I did the Barnstaple Half Marathon on a bit of a wet day and with a touch of a hangover.

I ran to almost 7 miles with the 2 hour pace man. I passed that pack on the downslope to the Tarka train. I ran back a bit quicker. I passed a Rodent, Julie Scholey and I high fived Paul Dursley. All three were doing the marathon. I finished with a chip time of 1:54:51 (Gun time 1:55:16)

I had a glass of Prosecco in the runners refershments tent.

Kay and I went for Sunday lunch at the Rising Sun in Umberleigh.

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.
