Weymouth Half Marathon
From Jeanette: Weymouth Half doubling as Queens 10miler. Absolutely lovely route absolutely Brutal run was extremely lucky to finish (nearly fainted twice on route) and extremely grateful to fellow YTRRC Runner Jeff Watson for saving me from passing out at finish if he wasn’t there no doubt I would have been on the floor. He promised if I did to get a pic

From Lesley: As I'm away this weekend I've just completed Kevin Doherty 's Gin and Queen 10 miler. I wish I didn't live at the top of a hill as the last 2.5 miles were a real struggle. However, now I'm sat in the garden with a cuppa and a can of G&T to take away with me to drink later, I'm recovered. Thanks Kev for another great challenge.

From Trev: Gin Queen & The Queen’s birthday 10 miler done.
From Rob: 10 Miler done
From Marathon Mike: Out before 5:30am in the dark to avoid a bit of sun, but it was already 27C and 93% humidity. There was not a bit of wind to rustle the palm leaves, flags hung limply around their poles. Had a couple of miles along the main drag on the picturesque Palma Sola Causeway, then turned north and headed out to Hernando de Soto Memorial Park for a lap on the trail by the Manatee River. Don’t know why they commemorate a Spaniard who came over in the 16th century and murdered all the locals, but then I grew up in the days of TV westerns and for a long time thought the Indians were the bad guys. They did remove his statue though before the surviving Seminoles could toss it into the river. It’s a nice loop to run among palmetto shrubs and giant ferns and they do have a first class drinking fountain with chilled good-tasting water. I came out of there and had a couple of miles on roads through a posh neighborhood, then finished the last three on trails in Robinson’s nature preserve, a large expanse of lakes and sub-tropical scrubland. Fairly quiet today, just a few herons, ibis and spoonbills. By this time the sun had risen, it was warming up, and I was enjoying a few walk breaks.
Running here is really another ballgame with the combination of high temperatures and high humidity. Core temp rises, heart rate goes up, energy drains away and pace suffers significantly. It’s impossible to evaporate enough sweat to cool the body because of the saturated atmosphere, so we’re drenched after a couple of miles. Hence the major consideration is HYDRATION, and routes are planned around petrol stations which have convenience stores, or parks which have drinking fountains.
Many thanks as usual Kevin now I’ve recovered, congratulations to all you other running gin drinkers and Happy Birthday singers, I was hoping to be over soon but I see Boris might be having second thoughts……………..
From Kev: Forgot to post my Gin / Queen 10 mile run yesterday so hear it is now. With the hot sun decided to split the run into two sessions one fast pace and one easy.
Session 1 Speed training at 6 58 pace around the park at Abbey Manor. Unfortunately my old 63 year old legs can't run any faster in that heat nowadays.
Session 2 Warm down steady jog at 10 min pace. Once again thanks for the challenge Kev.
From Jo: Queens Birthday you say? Gin you say? Charles Jardine Linda Membury Anita Farquhar Rufus Nick Roper & I celebrated with a 10 mile run followed by a garden party with tea & gin
From Me: The Union Flag now flies again over Port Stanly, Happy Birthday your Majesty
The Queens 2nd Birthday 10 miler with some great company
From Steve: Queen's birthday run done. Did it early as may not get chance at the weekend. Happy birthday your Majesty. Seemed only right and proper to play her a tune! Think my toe nail may now have come off - too scared to take my sock off
