It was gorgeous weather for my fourth attempt at the Mince Pie Ten Mile, sunny with hardly any wind. The course record fell to Andrew Donno of Brighton and Hove who finished in 59:03 and the first woman home was Emma Richards of Lewss AC in 1:14: 04. I was a little way behind,, finishing in 1:35:39, 142nd out of 188 finishers. I was over dressed: I wore a fleece top over a t-shirt, but would have been fine in t-shirt alone. I had the pleasure of meeting SamIAm and FatBuddha, of Runners World forum fame.
This was the last race of 2008; the first in 2009 will be either the Brighton Beacon or Eastbourne half-marathons.
Time: 1:35:39
Distance: 10 miles
Pace: 9.28
I also ran along Seaford front on Friday night, not yet recorded:
Time: 40:20
Distance: 3.7 miles
Pace: 10:54
