Syd's most recent exploits

"I completed the Newport Virtual Marathon along my local measured course in order to keep up with running at least 1 Marathon a year ever since I started running.  I managed to run both the first and last mile but mostly walked in between with some running.   I have to claim an unwanted club "record" with the slowest time ever of 8.47.48, exactly 30 years since I broke the 3 hour barrier for my only time. Oh how aging slows you right down! I duly submitted my time together with a bit of a write up they requested of me as I was easily the oldest entrant.    I've just seen the results, expecting to be last, and to my amazement found I finished 290th out of 319 finishers, so 29 finishers took longer than me.    The next oldest to me appeared to be a mere 71 year old who also took well over 8 hours. Unlike many others I quite enjoy Virtual Races as there are no cut off times. I can no longer enter mass start Marathons which usually have 5 hour cut off times so this is another way to keep doing them.  I'm hoping to do the London Marathon Virtual event on Oct 3rd and I believe one or two other Harriers are too, so perhaps we can make it a club event".
