Jake’s Hockey Club www.suttonsting.co.uk has been doing a bit of a fundraising (as always!). Some of the Dads agreed to do a 10Km race in Nottingham. It was the Clumber Park 10km. You can read a bit out it here on the organisers website. We setup a just giving page and so far we have reeled in a cool 350 quid for the club which is awesome. When we signed up for the race one of the brighter dads (me) noticed that it was actually a series of three………….
So the first was the 21st October 2015. I found it pretty easy for saying it was my first ever race, I actually really really enjoyed it. I was a bit nervous a couple of days before though as my knee was giving me some gip, or was it my back ? I don’t remember now to be honest, i just wasn’t in tip top condition !!! Here are some pictures from the day.
Here i am just arrived and numbered up !
Just starting off
54 Minutes later !
Ok so 54:49 is not exactly lightning pace, but you know what I’m proud of it !!
Free beer, to be fair though it was alcohol free and absolutely rank !!
Did someone say medal ?
In terms of gadgetry i was recording the run on runtastic, using my watch for the heart rate monitoring, as occasionally happens though the heart rate did not record ! Damn you !!
Below is the route as recorded by the GPS in my iPhone and some statistics !
