Race: Round the Walls (4m)
Time/Position: 22:51 (19th from 348)
Just about squeezed the 40th race of my 40th year in with this quick dash around the racecourse. All the weather-related cancellations had put the self-imposed and utterly meaningless target in jeopardy over recent weeks, after I reached 39 in November. Even today the full race was - predictably enough - shortened, leaving only the shrivelled husk, impersonating horses on a few laps of the Roodee. Quite hard going in the soft snow and cold air, and tricky to keep the pace up given lack of recent speedwork. The 40 races this year were pleasingly varied: from road 5k to mountain marathons, with 11 category wins and a few near misses!
