Clandon Park Run 10k and 7Oaks Tri 2016 now live


Playing spot the winner at 7Oaks tri

Congratulations sportspeople on another great weekends running and tri-ing. Less than ideal conditions at Clandon Park with the rain made things tricky underfoot - but almost near perfect conditions (if a little chilly on the bike without the right tops on) made for some fast times and good racing at Sevenoaks.

On Saturday the Clandon Park run took part in quite a bit of rain, mud and waterlogged grassland - but by all accounts it was still good fun. The finish was a turn right after the railway underpass instead of a turn left - which isn't quite a scenic to be honest !


The small log jump still awaited in the woods

proper plane making

Although Spidey had run out of silk, he kept trying whilst running along.

Its going to be a busy weekend with friday afternoon, friday evening, satruday morning, saturday afternoon and then two events on sunday morning. Fortunately it doesn't get this busy very often !
Looking forwards to see plenty of old friends at the Running awards, and several thousand of you at Southampton half and 10k on Sunday.

Finally - very good luck to all of you at London Marathon on Sunday - wrap up and keep warm - but don't overheat, take some sacrificial layers (bin bags?) to keep you warm for the start.

until next time
Anthony
