Having done the previous two I was not looking forward to tonight,
- feeling very tired, noisy neighbours having a heated debate in the middle of the night
- I lost my number,
- queueing traffic.
Normally I get faster at each race, but tonight I wasn't so optimistic but two friends from
Pudsey Pacer's made me think otherwise. Gunning for me, they were along-side from the start. Not liking this, I put in a burst and was at the first k in 3.40 nearly half a minute up on last week, though between 3 and 4 k I found I was slowing down (not by choice). As we turned the bend at the top it was rather nice to have some encouragement from the crowd watching, thanks to all for that because I passed three ladies, all this to beat last week by one second, ah well the mars bar was good. The bag !
I've now got five of these, and no the
Pudsey girls
didn't catch me, this time.

Well done Jackie, first Spen runner to the blog post, if not to the finishing post!

Must of been some burst you put in if you got to 1km in 3-40. I'm not surprised you slowed down towards the end. You just have to find a way to keep it going a bit longer.
Well done Jackie, you must have raced home to get the update on the blog. You can now count yourself as Spens fastest blogger. Also well done in the race and thanks for providing another 3 excuses I can use.
Once again thanks to Chris for adding links and results.
Ha ha! yes i was right behind you all until we got to nearly at 1k, thats when you all carried on at the same pace and i didn't, but hey im working on that .
