Finally a bank holiday with some warmth and sunshine!

This was a race only for the fool hardy, where the words 'Bent Hill' put fear 
into fellow runners.  You could tell that those from the club who entered had 
never done the Felixstowe Rotary 5 before!  It was finally a warm and sunny 
day giving bad vibes for next weeks Woodbridge 10k.  Even the strong wind 
pushing against the runners along the sea front was warm, and gave little 
respite before the hill.

However this was a well supported race from the public and fellow runners 
from the club (thanks guys!), not forgetting our younger contingent lead by
Daniel Starmer.  Thanks also goes to the person who got the tannoy speaker
to announce Katy and my wedding in less than 2 weeks.

I found this to be an enjoyable run, but a tough one where I would not expect
any PB's, although Katy has proved me wrong on this one!.  Stowmarket
