I hope you managed to have a good weekend ?
Fortunately the races on Sunday all took place in the early morning sunshine before the rain crept back in, meaning there was some fast running going on about the place and as ever with a little bit of sunshine comes a load more smiles - which always makes the outside office a nice place to be.
We've been working hard at the inside office constantly since getting back, so here's the links to the race galleries - all have links back to the race and their particular results from there:
If you're looking for events this weekend coming then there's
The
Bognor Prom 10k,
Staines 10k (full),
Godalming 10k (full) and
Horsham 10k - all of which are taking place on Sunday the 19th. So it's a trip to the seaside, or the Rugby Fields of Horsham if you haven't organised yourself so far.
Personally, I'm off next weekend for a 25th anniversary, so the fort is being ably maintained by the top team here in the office, Sally, Seba, Hannah, Simon, Harvey, Holly, Hayley, Mike, Scott and a few others will all be out at the race or working hard to bring you your race photos - give them a smile and your best race face if you see them. Fingers crossed for the weather on sunday, but it's looking a bit wet, cold and windy, so bring your waterproof skin and get out there and do it !
Right, here's a few pictures from the weekends action - thank you to those of you who saw me over the last two weekends and said how much they enjoyed reading the blog - it really does make all the difference to know that when I'm toiling away at 1am after getting up at 5am to cover the races and trying to get things done that it's worth it ! If you ever want to tell me something - feel free to ring, tweet (
@uksportphoto) or drop me an email (
info@sussexsportphotography.com) or post on our
facebook page if you prefer.
And - if you ever have suggestions on how we can make the gallery better, or improve our services - I'm always interested to hear from you.
