Worksop Half Marathon - 30th October 2005This year the Worksop Half Marathon was held on a wet Sunday morning at the end of October. Having done the event two years ago Mick thought it was as good a chance as any to go for a personnal best. However the memory must've faded as the course was far from the flat course stored in his memory. The aim was to do a 7.5 minute a mile race coming into the finish just under the 1 hour 40 minute mark. The first mile was a tough climb and knocked that attempt straight on the head. With the crowded start and the climb the first mile was well over 8 minutes. This meant the rest of the race was a chase to get back the lost time. The next stage of the race to the halfway mark went by without incident. Most of the run is situated in Clumber park and so there are some good little views to spur you on. After the 7th mile though the heavons opened. The rain came down hard and fast making it very difficult to run in. The last half was a struggle with a welcoming last mile that was totally down hill. The PB was accomplished but getting under 1hour 40mins is yet to be done.
