22nd September 2002

 I went along to the Diss 7.5 and 15 mile races today to see that there was only myself running for the Striders in the 7.5 mile race and Colin Pitts in the 15 mile race. Ipswich JAFFA turned out in force though so I had a few people to chase.

My time of 65.17 was a PB for me as I haven't done that distance before.  For future reference the course of one or two laps was fairly flat and rural, although being overtaken by a tractor was not a high point for me!

Maybe a few more Striders could be encouraged to run next year as its not too far away and I enjoyed it.  That's something I don't say often!
