Race report by Greg:
Thanks everyone what a race tonight . I was running really well until I decided to make an overtaking manoeuvre to pass 4 runners mid way. Got sick of single file traffic 🤣 Big Mistake I dive bombed into the ditch and fell flat on my chest winded myself. This happened 3 times . I lost my rhythm and my number along with my orange smiley Magnets. Mark managed to calm me down and told me someone would find my number . Honestly I thought my race was over . Anyway my number appeared and then Mark and Tony passed me, then Andy
It wasn’t long after I tripped again. A doctor running from Darwin said I looked pale . Coming back and I stumbled again with Josie on my tail. She told me to take it easy as she passed with ease .
Over a minute slower than last year . Sally made clear sense coming back . I am often too hard on myself, and I should enjoy it more as it was a great night with Lostock. It was much better than TV and football.
Thanks everyone we all put in a great performance, and Andy for driving me and Sally especially saving his vest and heart rate monitor left on his roof . It was still on when we got back despite his blue light run back 🤣 for the footy.
Just resting with a swollen ankle.. A golden Arches on way home cheered me up .. Replacement of salt loss 🤣
