Thoughts on the Bournemouth half marathon yesterday
-
Hengistbury Head is nice. Outdoors-y but with a nice cafe and visitor centre
-
lovely route…I didn’t realise how much I missed the sea
-
the steep climb, at about 8 miles, up the side of Boscombe Chine was…. challenging (swears omitted here)
-
just two portaloos at the three mile point is nowhere near enough
-
we were lucky with the weather
-
I didn’t win
-
trying to spot my young, bearded, skinny chum coming the other away among lots and lots of other young, bearded, skinny people is enough to make you go cross-eyed. It’s like an endurance version of Where’s Wally
-
it’s a nice medal. It looks a bit on-the-nose, but the detail is nice
-
I’m very grateful to the organisers and volunteers for putting it on
