13th April 2001

A bright, sunny but chilly morning welcomed the runners to the start of Sudbury's 5 mile
point to point fun run.  Taking the choice of leaving the car at the finish we set off to
walk the 1.5 miles to the start.  Just as we left the sports centre, Rich cheekily stuck
his thumb out to grab a lift from a passing vehicle.  We nearly died of shock when the
lady driving the vehicle actually stopped and offered us a lift not just into town, but all
the way to the start of the race!!  One small draw back for Katy though...  she had to
share the back seat with a piece of large furniture, leaving Katy rather squished at the
end of the journey.  Thank you very much though.

This was an enjoyable albeit not very scenic race seeing larger than normal crowds
supporting the runners through Sudbury and Great Cornard. 

Oh, just a quick mention and well done to the man on the stilts!
