Lliswerry 8 - 2023 race report

Sunday 15th January (quick review)

This was the one with the Pegasus Running Club pace bus that was great fun aka, the one where Plan A came together brilliantly. My plan was to run controlled, with purpose to build on training, and to finish feeling strong (and ready to go further). That my planned pace fitted the plans of 4 other Pegs was an absolutely great bonus. I ran with Ali, Claire, Sarah, and later Phil all of whom where fab company (top running conversations were had) and all of whom smashed it!!

The organisation was as brilliant as ever, and it was so good to see so many familiar Lliswerry Running Club faces around the event hub at Newport Stadium and out on the course. Everyone was of course excited to find out what colour the race shirt was going to be at the finish line and were not disappointed - though coming to the finish and seeing hoards of runners already finished wearing them does kinda spoil the surprise (though in a good way).

This run was all about the cool numbers though in the end my watch said my finish time was 1:23:21 as a pallindrom, when my race number was 696 also a pallindrom was icing on a geeks cake 😋
