The Bluebell 10k Trail

Except it was not blue and there were no bells.  However, of course there were unexpected hills.

The first plan was to cycle there (around 25km), run the 10k, and then cycle back home again. The second plan was to stay in bed the whole time.  In the end I compromised with myself and got a lift from Jenny the Hedgehog (in the "Sonic" sense, not prickly).

It was a good run.  I can't tell that by how I felt, as I'm pretty sure that I thought I was going to die the whole way round.  I can't tell that by the way I fell away from Sonic before the first and only water stop.  I can't tell from the supercomputer on my wrist which kept telling me to try harder.  No, I can tell because I managed to stay with Jacko the whole way.  In fact I took him out on the last uphill, and finished 10 seconds ahead.  Go, Issi!

Results from the Bluebell 10k Trail.  Sonic finished 175th.  I finished 189th.  A full 10 seconds ahead of Jacko !
