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 had my first training session on the new skates today. I booked in with Skate Fresh and had a private session with Louise, along the Serpentine Road in Hyde Park.
I’m really glad I opted for a lesson, I learnt loads – I can just about start skating and I can almost stop and almost turn which is brill. It would have taken me months and loads of bruises to fathom it all out for myself. Just need to get out and practice now. This of course is the tough bit, its hard to motivate yourself to go out and make a complete tit of yourself in public.

I ordered inline skates from ebay and they arrived today. I’ve been pushing them around the lab and occassionaly ventured as far to put one foot in. I was well excited, until…..
This email arrived from the seller:
“with regards to breaking wrists thats why i sold them bought them wore them and have spent the last four weeks in cast broke right wrist in four places found feedback rather funny get some wrist supports from an expert in breaking bones good luck”
I feel doomed!
