Today I do the Leicestershire
Half Marathon which is the rather curious name they have given to a race that
starts and finishes at Prestwold Hall. Which is, granted, in Leicestershire but
then so are countless other places…
It is organised by RunThrough who specialise
in events that make you run through places repeatedly. This one is centred
on Prestwold Driving Centre which is right next door to the hall and is just ripe for
doing laps of.
It actually turns out better than
I expected with the start\finish in front of the hall and even a trip out on to
real roads, the only issue there was we had to do a short cross country section
to get there. Then we finished off with some inventive looping of the Driving Centre
e.g. they didn’t just make us go round. They were quite cunning and made us double
back on ourselves and stuff like that.
Anyhow I must have done ok because my time of 01:44:57 can
only be bettered in the last twelve month by my Robin Hood time. I even, sort
of, enjoyed it.
