Shhh, don't tell the coach about this one. I sneaked in a tasty 3 x 1 mile relay race on Monday at Battersea park. I've been competing in the excellent Sri Chinmoy races for many years now. They are organised by the bunch who lead the splendid Run and Become chain of running shops and having been part of the winning relay team last year, I thought I'd give this one a try and see if I could repeat the feat of being in the winning team and getting the fastest individual split.
Yes to both! The team comprised another multi-sporter in the guise of Clinton (1st leg), my mate Matt (2nd leg) and moi (3rd leg). Clinton took the most competitive leg and came through in 4th, close to the 3 runners in front of him. Matt had the hero leg and snatched 1st with about 50 metres to go, leaving me very little to do but extend the lead.
And the prize goes to......all 3 of us!
