The inaugural Griffon Run was held in Memorial Park, North Walsham on Sunday 7th October. The event consisted of a 5k fun run and a 450m fun run for juniors. Organised by the Active Norfolk the event attracted over 100 members including three members of Tri-Anglia.
The race was described as a fast flat course, yet I found the course going down hill within the first mile and as it was a circular route, that meant that at some point it was going to have to come back up a hill. So the description was wrong. Kilometer markers were in the wrong places which buggered my pacing a bit. Found the first marker at 5m50s. The second a further 6m22 down the road. Started to wonder if it was a 5miler that had been incorrectly advertised as 5k, so rained my pace in abit just in case. Another 6m20s and the 3k appeared as we returned towards North Walsham. 1m40s later and the 4k mark was to be found and only 1m15s to get to the finish. Total time 21:30, a seasons worst by nearly a minute and nearly two minutes off my PB - still my legs were tired before the start.
An interesting route though, well marshalled with a few points for improvement. The winners still got round in 17mins and Rob Kilbourn got a PB of 19:13 (officially though he made it 19:10) and finished 10th.
