Then off to Sandown for the Relays, as a Team Manager I'm not a fan, but I know it is popular. The previous five years remind me of some good runs, I am very aware that this year will not be faster than any of these below:
- 2008 - DNS, sick, diagnosed with influenza
- 2007 - 25.07
- 2006 - 24.53
- 2005 - 24.50
- 2004 - 26.16
I know I raced in 2003 and maybe 2002 but I didn't find those results easily. Looking at my results in 2008 I was probably in high 27s or low 28 form, so whilst my 2009 result of 27:10 is one of my worst as 2003 would have been slower I suspect.
I ran the final leg in the Div 5 team, going through the first lap in 13.22 and the second lap was 13.48. As per normal at Sandown, we had wind in our face along the back straight up the incline, the only unusual aspect of the day was the actual temperature was pretty good, probably 16-18 degrees.
Club wise our teams were ok ish, the top men & wmn in Div 2 were below our actual wants and hopes, div 4 men did really well finishing 2nd, div 5 men 8th/16, U14 men 3rd, wmn Div 3 & 4 the bottom half, U16 & 14 women managed 3rd with weakened teams.
Coaching; Jo ran another strong race, 47 sec PB and both Claire & Elyse ran strong legs.
