Having completed the Winter Race in January 2018 as my first ever Half marathon and vowing to never repeat this particular race, I found myself once again at the start line In June 2018...Doh. To clarify, the only reason that I didn't want to run this again was purely because I found the route quite boring (I use this route quite often for training runs and family dog walks! Because it is a narrow path for most of the route, there isn't any local support, (just the odd bemused dog walker, cyclist & runner on a Sunday morning training run!) Anyway, the weather was very kind to us. The Marshals were very friendly and helpful - I took my hydration pack with me as I didn't like the cups of drink that they use on this race so I only stopped for sweeties (& gels)!!! The medal was (unfortunately) exactly the same as the Winter one (with a different ribbon) BUT at the finish there was CAKE!!! I love cake!! And after running a half marathon I can see no reason why I shouldn't eat as much cake as I can fit in my mouth!!
