Results for the Dorking 10 Mile

Here are the race results from the Dorking 10 mile race.

And here are some photos.

Some interesting things of note:

My official finishing time was 1:42:05 (less the 22 seconds it took to cross the starting line)

I finished 407 out of 467 finishers

I came 46% out of my category (Male Vets 40-49)

Temperature at the start 23c – at the finish 26c

I passed the 5 mile marker (8km) before I needed to take my first walk (a new record)

I ran the next 3 miles taking a 90 second walk at each mile marker

The last 3 miles were murder!!

The best thing that I enjoyed was seeing Penny and Alex waiting for me at the “200m to go” marker

Ready for the Dorking 10?

Well… just about!

I haven’t posted for a while, but my training as been continuing unabated. I’ve been keeping up with the 3 times a week training schedule. Stamina improving all the time now, and my continual runs (without walking) are now a minimum of 5km, although I have been running non-stop up to 7.5km now.

I’m running the Dorking 10 (10 miles) this weekend, so I’ll hopefully be able to set myself a new record for unbroken running. I’m not expecting to run a spectacular time. Really just want to get around the course, and not shame myself in the process.

The weather report for the week ahead, is propably not ideal for running. Temperatures are set to rise every day this week, with temperaturs hitting 25-26C by the weekend.
