The Blaydon Race is one of the biggest road races in the North East and also one of my favourites, a flat, fast race with lots of atmosphere. This year I went one better than last year and finished second in the V65 category to my long time rival Harry Matthews, Elswick, pictured above.
Out of over four thousand runners I was number 730 and five seconds faster than 2015 in 40.05. In my own category and I was second of 68, but as the Remain voters have found you get nothing for second place and for yet another race I got nothing, not even an image on any web site. It was the same in the Sunderland 10K, so I will just have to try harder in the next race.
Races in my extended challenge are coming up pretty regularly at the moment, averaging two a week, in a few days its a very local race, the Newburn Riverside, which passes through my village, Wylam. Read how I got on in my next blog.
