Official Puffing Billy Time

May 5, 2008

The official times are on the website and I’m happy to report it was a PB.

My results were;

Time: 1:05:41 (4:59 min/km)
(11 seconds faster than last year, but still 10:26 behind Puffing Billy)
Male position: 870 of 1902
(72 positions better than last year)
Overall position: 962 of 2757
(133 positions better than last year)

Happy with that – next year the goal is under 1 hour!

I could have run to work faster!

May 5, 2008

Nothing much to report today, except that I could have run to work faster this morning! An accident on the Western Ring Road made it traffic hell everywhere in the north-west this morning. It took me 45 minutes to drive 10km to work! Then, by the time I got home tonight it was dark and raining, so I wimped out on the run and called it a rest day.

So to fill up some blogspace, and hoping Jaykay doesn’t mind, I’ll just shamelessly steal her photo from her blog, of the crowd at Micawbers yesterday after the Great Train Race.
