Job done.
A sub 50 min 10k. 48:45, 40th out of 85 runners, 2nd LV40 results - http://www.wrayvillage.co.uk/documents/ResultAllcompetitors.pdf
Can't believe we had people waiting for an hour yesterday to see if they could get an 'on-the-day' entry to run round Salford (our club's 10K) when for half the price you could run round a scenic, traffic free (although I did have a near miss with a couple of horses and later on a milk tanker and a queue of cars) course. But I guess for some people the lure of a flat, fast and definite pb course will always win out. If I'd have gone in the car and not cycled to the event I probably wouldn't have ended up on the 'awkward' table dealing with disgruntled customers. In the end due to the number of no-shows from the on-line entries, most did get a run.
Anyway back to today's race. The 10K at Wray is the first event in the calendar for a week of activities which is part of the Scarecrow Festival. The local residents take part in a competition to produce the best dressed Scarecrow. This years' 2 themes were "Royalty: Past and Present" and "Austerity Measures" a sample of a few are here
Laminated sign in middle a bit too 'shiny' for the mobile but reads 'Legless due to Government Cuts'
