This was fun. Had a stressful start as I got there a bit later than I intended. Anyone that knows me well will know that this is not exactly unusual. There were more people here than I expected and after rushing over from the car and grabbing my dossard (race number). And then I discover that they are out of safety pins.
I didn't realise that these are such an important part of the runners toolkit but how else are you going to put your race number on your shirt? In the end, I had to carry mine which was an unwelcome distraction.
The race itself was really enjoyable, beginning with a lap around the old horse racing track and then out into the streets of Uccle. The hills took me a bit by surprise and I guess I need to work on that in my training. Too much of my training is done on the flat.
I reckon I was done in about 1 hour and 10 minutes which is, frankly, disappointing. It's slower than my 10 km time for the Semi two months ago.
