Ashford 5k Summer Series
It was the last of the local 5ks on Friday. I made a last minute decision to run it and when I got to the park, realised that in my haste to leave the house, I had forgotten my Garmin. While getting my race number, I mentioned to Martin – Nice Work’s race director – that I’d forgotten it and he immediately offered me his to borrow. What a gent!
The race started, I trotted around the park for 31 minutes and 49 seconds and crossed the finish line…
… last!
But with a time of 31:49, that’s not really something I can be ashamed of. And anyway, seeing as I was hardcore and ran for longer than anyone else, I reckon I was the winner really.
So there.
Surely there’s a prize for coming last? I imagine you got a pretty big cheer. Excellent time, those ahead of you must have been super fast!
A race where sub 32 comes last is one hell of a fast race.
Hm – not a series I’ll be entering then – they’ll be packing up by the time I cross the line…
