The Great South Run

Today was the annual Great South Run in Portsmouth.

It was a VERY chilly wait for the start gun (about 2 degrees I think); however once we were underway I quickly warmed up.

Was a fun 10 mile route going past the Nelson's ship "Victory" in the dockyard and the Spinnaker Tower...

I managed to finish in a time of 1 hour 2 minutes and 22 seconds which placed me 122nd out of about 25,000.

Chuffed with my result as it is about 3 minutes quicker than my time last year (plus I managed to beat two former Olympians...Sally Gunnell and Iwan Thomas!)

Some nice Team GB support:



Next stop...Istanbul in two weeks time!
