I had a satisfactory race. Not the PB I hoped for but I was happy with it considering the usual problems in my build up to any race (injury).

Weather was absolutely perfect with nice crowds in places cheering on LOTS and LOTS of runners.

With 1km to go I was tempted to take the ‘tot’ of London Pride beer on offer from Fullers but didn’t take the risk.

Caitlin Limmer, the Race Director Cabbage Patch 10 has asked me to plug her charity which is in need of some urgent inflows of our hard-earned cash. She is also the patron of MDS Patient Support Group (Myelodysplastic Syndromes are blood disorders, link to: mdspatientsupport.org.uk). You can read all about it at that link or just donate via the Virgin Money GIVING image on the right. It’s a good cause.

I HAVE DONATED and feel superior to all of those of you who beat me but haven’t donated 😉 Go on…beat me on the donation as well.

I used Runscribe this year as well as last as a gait analysis thingy. It will be interesting to see the change over a year. I think my technique has improved despite the injury.

My favourite kit and nutrition

  • Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
  • Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — The small adapter that keeps your charging cables tidy. Essential for race day. I use one.
  • Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session. I use one.
  • Ravemen FR300 — Front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters. I use one.
  • Body Glide – The blue anti-chafe stick that all swimmers and many runners use. I use it.
  • Maurten — The race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mixes engineered to be easy on the stomach. I use them.
  • Garmin Varia RTL515 — A radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch. I use this model.
  • Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — The power-meter pedals most serious cyclists choose. Accurate, easy to move between bikes. I use this model.
  • Garmin Forerunner 970 — A serious choice for a pro-grade triathlon watch. I use this.
  • Polar H10 — My daily driver for accurate, waking HRV readings.
  • Wahoo ELEMNT Roam 3 — The bike computer that has the feature Garmin lacks: usability. I use mine on most rides.
