National 12stage Road Relays in Birmingham at Sutton Park, comprising the top 70clubs within the UK & a few from Wales & Scotland. I ran leg (long leg) 5.4miles for Thames Hare & Hounds & I ran shit! 29:58 & felt dead. Team came 23rd, which was a great result as the competion was very tough, we finished in a overall time of 4hrs33mins.

Other than my run it certainly was a great experince, awesometo be involved in & to be representing the club at a National event. Weather wise the day was perfect sunny, blue sky 26deg - made for enjoyable day out.
