I did Bideford Half in 1:39:06 yesterday, so I'm happy to go under 1:40 for the second time in 2 weeks. I was on for a PB at half way, but I just couldn't hold it but I did all I could on the day so I have to be pleased with that (and I am!). The first half of the course is harder than the second half and I knew this, but I just couldn't hold the pace I needed in the final 3 miles. Average pace was 7:33, whereas my PB from a couple of weeks ago was 7:30 so pretty consistent really. My time today was 3 minutes quicker that last year on the same course, which was my then PB.
I'd say the conditions were good and I know a few people got PBs as it is a quick course. I also had some pancakes afterwards, to help aid recovery....
My club's AGM was on Wednesday and the current "Press and Publicity" officer had decided to stand down fro the role. The role seemed right up my street, so I put my name down to be considered for the role and I'm pleased to say I was nominated. The role is to keep people up-to-date with what is going on in the Trotters in terms of events that people participate in. In summary, it involves sending regular (where possible, weekly) updates to a couple of local papers and also keeping the club's website up-to-date with news. I remember when I was looking to join Teignbridge Trotters that I thought the club’s website was very good as it was very up-to-date in comparison to many. I see the Press and Publicity role has helping with that, by ensuring that the content is relevant and current.
Anyway, my first report was uploaded today and it's available here.
