Half Marathon number 46 - Wrexham Half Marathon - 12/3/2017
This weekend involved ticking off Wales from the
country list by completing the Wrexham Half Marathon. It was not my most
enjoyable or best run. The excuses why I ran so badly are as follows:
- 1) it was too close to the last race
- 2) it was hilly (well slightly undulating)
- 3) it was warm (yes Wrexham was warm in March)
- 4) I am getting old, too heavy and probably not fit
enough
- 5) At 6 miles I got overtaken by a Gingerbread
Man, who had started 1 hour before me and was running the
marathon with the 3hr 30min Marathon Pacer
- 6) My head was too focused on making excuses to run
well.
Anyway over 10 minutes slower
than Vienna and after dragging myself painfully through the last 3 miles
I ticked off Half Marathon number 46 in Wrexham. A pleasant course
through the town and surrounding country side.
To finish a bad day, i may be now banned from the Ramada Inn in Wrexham.
Having stayed the night before, i had arranged to call back and have a
shower in the Spa before returning home. What they didn't tell me was the
only shower in the Spa was an open shower in the spa room which contained
the Hot Tub and Sauna. Having checked there where no other guests a quick
strip off and shower followed. It was only when leaving I noticed the
Security Camera and the "This area is covered by CCTV sign".
What made it worse was handing back my key to see the large CCTV monitor
behind reception clearly showing the spa. May be a while before i go
back!!
