Blackpool half

Taking things easy on Saturday did not do a great lot for my time at Sunday's Blackpool half marathon as the time of 1hr 46mins and 24secs, while still giving me first place in the over 70s was 6mins slower than last year.


Some of the time lost can be put down to the vicious wind coming off the Irish sea which made each of the two laps of the Bispham promenade a combination of three miles of wind assistance and three of battling into that wind.
