A sport-tastic weekend!

I quite like this blog, so I'm going to keep writing ramblings on here until I run out of things to say...

This country has been busy achieving in the field of sporting endevour this weekend, with Lewis Hamilton returning to the podium after a disastrous first half of the F1 season, Mark Cavendish destroying the competition to win on the Champs-Elysees and Bradley Wiggins finishing 4th in the Tour de France.

The main arena of athletic excellence this weekend however, was of course the Pudsey 10k. It was hard! As I said before I wasn't sure whether the challenge would have made me fitter or just knackered, and it seems to have done both. I was certainly stronger, and quicker than a lot of people up the hills and down rocky descents, but on the flat I was rubbish. I had hoped for under 40 minutes, but ended up with 42:27. I'm not sure what place that is yet, maybe around 30th-ish.

Lakeland 100 is now only a few days away. This will be the equal longest distance race I have ever done (unless I get lost), and probably the longest time at around 30 hours. I'm not really sure what will happen, but it's going to be interesting!
