Following the postponement of the original MMH (from March, not surprisingly) a slightly reduced team made it to RAF Coltishall for the rescheduled run. This event being the first in the trilogy of runs for the RAF Centenary year organised by the Jaguars.
A grey, cold and drizzly day greeted everyone, but once the event started, only the wind really caused issues (You can tell why it was an airfield! From KM 7 to just over KM 8 it was a head wind as we ran down the runway!).
Some good event PBs were gained today. Only 6 weeks until we’re there again!
Official Times:
Adam S – 53:41
Lucy Mc – 53:41 PB
Mark – 53:58 PB
Kerrie – 58:05 PB
Lynne – 1:07:43 PB

If we can get more pacers, it would be great, otherwise we can look at increasing the gaps to give a wider spread of times.
Well done to Cat and Jo who completed the 42nd Paris Marathon today, in what looked like (according to the TV and photos) perfect weather conditions!
Not sure how you managed to get round without stopping to look at the sights and grab a coffee!
Well done.

A great turnout from RntS today with 8 runners taking part in the 5 lap race and help from Marshal Adam P, Bag Holders/Cheerleaders Stu, Claire, Paula and Steve and Support team Morty and Vinnie! Luckily the rain held off and we had dry weather. Initial thoughts were that 5 laps wouldn’t be great, but in the end, it was a good event.
