Southport Rubbish Torchlight 5K, The Illuminated Runners And The Stone Circle!

















THE RUBBISH TORCHLIGHT 5K RESULTS


Conditions at the starting point of the race, up at the top of the stone circle were extreme to say the least!
Freezing Gale force winds made it feel like we were at the top of a high mountain pass.
Nic, Andy hudson's daughter [who kindly took the results] made it clear that If we continued with the planned 10K event my life might not be worth living and I might walk with a limp for the rest of my life:0[
In the interests of all helpers and marshals the event was cut to just a 5K.
Hopefully next summer we can try for a 10K event if better conditions allow :0]
Steve Mclean won the mens race by storming away at the start, demoralizing his rivals from the gun!
Trace Peters fresh from her 10K P.B. the day before did a similar job to win the ladies event!
Thanks to Andy Hudson and everyone who helped and took part and Nic for not breaking my leg!
Look out for Andy Hudson's Torchlite 5K in January 2012
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

You blokes (and sheilas) are crazy!

Can't watch youtube clips at Mum's Rick. She's still on a steam-powered internet connection.

All the best for 2012. Looking forward to following your training leading up to London and a new marathon PB!
