This is just a quick update as I somehow managed not to run this again, opting instead for the comfy seat at the registration desk. I seem to have developed a fear of actually running at BPTT.
The winning runner finished in a mere 15 min 55 secs, he had a massive lead but looked fit to collapse at the end. I would say it took him a couple of minutes to make it the final 10 metres to the registration desk, we were tempted to drag the desks over to him. Turns out its his wedding day today and he had to rush to make the ceremony - he’ll be in trouble if he’s late.
Big news on the UK Time Trials front is that they are expanding again - next park to succumb to the early morning races is Richmond Park! What great news is that, it should mean an extra half hour in bed for me every Saturday.
I’m preparing for another early start tomorrow, I have to head off to Brighton at the crack of dawn for my first trail run race. I’m desperately trying to put together the playlist that No Wetsuit Girl suggested - I’ll be relying on it to get me to the end. I like the idea of borrowing someone elses iPod for a run, but I am hoping its not full of rap, that would be quite painful.

I was much slower than 15:55.
