Ian Gilham was the only one of us to race this weekend as the rest of us chomped happily away on Easter eggs. It was the very muddy Beaconsfield 5 mile cross country on Monday – fuelled by chocolate Ian popped a speedy 35:12on the wet and windy course and came 1st in his age group (55+) and 33rd overall (407 finishers). The course sounds a little like the Grand National with fallen trees and ankle deep water but all good training for Ian’s next race at the Windsor Duathlon next weekend where he is hoping to qualify for the world championships.
Really wish you luck Ian and hope for warmer weather for you!
