HUMPTY DUMPTY 10K 24/06/18

It is a truly lovely picturesque course meandering through the villages of Freethorpe and Reedham, with a particularly lovely stretch running along next to the river in Reedham.  sadly at the end of this you are met with a few hills and it is more than fair to call the course undulating.  The route is similar to the Freethorpe 10 that occurs at the start of the year, conditions however were not as they had been in January.  With little or no breeze and temperatures soaring towards 24 degrees c runners were needing to take extra care at the water stations, ensuring enough fluids taken on to get them to the end.

The support around the course from people coming out onto their drives to watch was genuinely uplifting and running past one gentleman out watering his plants with a hose was definitely most welcome.

In spite of the very warm conditions 11 Jags managed to achieve PBS during the race, with Elly Young and Jackie Bye earning second in their age groups and a silver country championship medal.  Emma Blake not only got a PB she was third in her age group and bagged herself a bronze county championship medal.  And our very own ken Bowman was first in his age category and achieved a silver county championship medal.  Lots of awesome new standards were also achieved, a great day out for all.
