Wymondham AC's New Years Day 10k

January 1st 2008.

 

Getting up to run a race the morning after New Years Eve celebrations really does not seem a smart move.  Similarly moderating your celebrations the night before to ensure that you are in a fit state in the morning does not seem fun either, but there is something bizarrely enticing to to the Wymondham AC's New Years Day 10k.  Perhaps it's because it gets your year off to a flying start.  Perhaps it's because you know lots of other Tri-Anglia members will be in attendance and you like to be sociable.  Perhaps it's because you are gregarious and don't like to miss out.  Perhaps it's because you don't like the thought that others are out there doing something whilst you are sat at home.

Well, whatever your reason, well done to everyone who participated. A gold star to those who cycled there and back as well as running, at least 2008 wasn't as windy as 2007.  And a very special well done to all who got PB's, you clearly were not playing the game on New Years Eve, or perhaps you were - maybe you should party every night before a race.
