Bristol 10K - 10th May 2009

Well, what can I say, it was daunting, exhilarating, exciting and tiring all in one.

After spending an eternity in the queue for the toilets and soaking up the initial atmosphere, we made our way to the starting point. After a short wait, the mass of runners all made their way across the start line and we were off!

There were over 6,000 runners in all and so many were running charity, including our team, who were all running for Leukaemia Research. With our bright yellow t-shirts, we started to make our way around the route, me plodding along with Gill motivating me all the way round, if she wasn’t there I don’t think I would have made it. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, although it did make things tough near the end.

The supporters dotted around the route were fantastic, they really knew how to keep everyone going.

Finally after 1:19, Gill and I found the energy to sprint to the finish. Anna was fantastic and finished in 58mins in her first ever 10K. Sabrina finished in 1:06 and Nicki in 1:10. Well done girlies!

 

 

 

 

We would all like to say a big thank you to everyone who sponsored us and to date have raised £1200 which is amazing.

Roll on the next one!

Tang Soo!
