Bob J tested a dodgy knee at the weekend with a road-based 1/2 marathon. The
NSPCC Milton Keynes Half had 1000+ starters with the winner doing 1:07:05
and Bob turning in a PW time of 1:54:59. Knee held up OK and very pleased to
see daughter finish in time of 2:09.
Race prep’ wasn’t great and consisted of bit of Cornish beach running (to
the cafe mostly), bit of scrambling, swimming, snorkelling (to retrieve
glasses from Penzance harbour), Cornish cream teas, more cream teas but with
coffee this time and shark-watching. Apparently basking sharks had been
spotted off Porthcurno but we didn’t see any
