Race report by Paul:
Southport Half Race Report, so sorry its late had one of those days.
On a very cold Sunday morning it was off to southport to support Kev on his running comeback.
Kev has been injured for just over 18 months with a damaged ACL and metatarsal but has a London Marathon place with MS Trust along with Ironman Bolton and Ironman Wales after his wife was diagnosed with MS last year. Kev is working hard to recover and complete a year of endurance to raise money for such a great cause and I will continue to support him throughout each event.
Kev has helped me train for many events so it was my turn to repay the favour, with a plan to run a mile and a walk 100 yards recovery we set off at 9am, a flat 2 loop course was perfect for rebuilding.
6 miles in the heavens opened and we were treated to a hail storm, really wished I had opted to wear a hat as it bounced off my ears. Kev’s knee started to show signs of strain around mile 10 so we opted to just take it easy for the last 3 miles. Finishing in 2 hours 23 minutes, it was a start to Kev’s endurance comeback i was honoured to be part of.
