Last January I completed my first Cross Country half marathon, I did this at the inaugural Doynton Hard Half Marathon (in case you missed that exciting blog you can catch up with it here) This year I was contacted by the organisers and invited back – it happens to all top athletes you know! I was planning on signing up but as ever was sitting on the fence. As I headed north on the M5 I watched the temperature drop, along with my bottom lip-I don’t like the cold.
Now if I was clever there would be a nice little Venn diagram here comparing the 1st and 2nd event, I’m not so here is a chart instead, squint a bit and use some imagination and the info might populate three circles
Not going to lie, I found this tougher than I remembered, the legs had decided they would have preferred to stay in the warm, but I will certainly enter again next year, first I need to forget about those hills!

faaaaaaaaaBUlouS time ShazPopsBossChick!!!! Well done!!! Man up *winks* i am the only one allowed to complain about the cold with this CapeTown blood still in my veins!
Ta, was stunned, did not feel like it was faster and certainly not easier! Hey least I left the duvet at home!!!! X
*ROTFL* sitting here now with the DUVET on, some tw@t turned the heating off over the weekend… its taking an AGE to heat up now!!!!
PS… LOVE the little chart! 🙂
Caaaaaake!
Exactly!
Go Shaz!!! Sounds really tough. I remember the photo gallery from last year and can only imagine the crusty mud. What a great idea to have the names of the marshals on signs. I hope that catches on.
Me too Annie.
