Three of the top BRC ladies successfully completed the Lydd half in rather harsh conditions …
Kate reports:
“Helen Garrett, Sophie Bishop and myself left Bromley early Sunday morning in the bitter cold with snow flurries to boot! Whatever it was like in Bromley we knew it would worse at Lydd given its flat, open landscape and close proximity to the sea….none of us were looking very happy, just slightly hysterical!! When we got there we were greeted by a pretty harsh and flipping cold wind, however, it was dry. So, off we went at 10am – the first 600m round a field and then on to the road. The first 10k was largely into the wind with the odd break as we changed direction. Frankly it was rather bleak but good to get the 1st 10k in the bag and then it was a case of hanging on to get to mile 8 at which point we had the wind behind us for a couple of miles. Up to mile 10 then straight back into the wind. Oh. And Icey rain. This made for a fairly gruelling last 5k but I just gritted my teeth and tried to stay strong despite seeing the finish in the distance it didn’t seem to get any nearer. Eventually though I made it to the end and crossed the line in 1.35.50. And then it was back home to a glass or two of wine!!!”
