This time something a bit more local, and a bit more reasonable entry fee wise! The Gosport Golden Mile and Golden 5km are a couple of quite unique races which take place on the same day about 40mins apart (depending on how fast you run the first one!).
The first race is a point-to-point mile run along the seafront in Gosport. Which would be great in the sunshine....however it was blowing a gale and the headwind was something ridiculous. I went from running 2:50kms out the wind down to 3:45kms in it!
After that comes the 5km race which is an out an back around a fort on the beach which is quite cool, and removes the freaded 180degree turn around a cone, bleeding off all your speed and providing massive potential to twist your ankles. However, there was a little treat in the name of a couple of sections being over gravel.
Thank you so much to all the people out in the terrible rain who weren't even able to run to keep warm!
