Our early birds, Jen, Dave and Katie, enjoyed a quick run around the lake as an unofficial course check for the upcoming race. Amazingly, there were NO puddles, which I think is pretty much unheard of for this course!

We were then joined by Judy and a bonus Lucy for registration and marshaling duties. Our list of sign-ups hadn't been updated since June, so we had to defer quite a few runners to the Havant AC team, but did have plenty of work to do with re-writing numbers lost from the previous race. And obviously I'll have to mention the poor quality of the marker pen we were given, the hand written numbers were not up to their usual calibre!

Duncan joined us for pack down at the end of the race, so he just about earned a good deed for his efforts!

We did a lovely double loop of Farlington Marshes this morning, meeting other runners, walkers and birdwatchers along the way.

We finished off with a cool cup of Pompey Tap! 🚰

We had a lovely evening putting up posters for the upcoming Somersfest event, organised by PCC. Thank you Katie for sorting out collecting the posters!

We split in to three teams, depending on our energy levels and injuries to cover as many different areas as possible. Each group covered between 2 and 2.5 miles, which was an amazing effort!

There was also some excellent record keeping from Vicki, Jo and Dave to ensure we can find our posters for their removal after the event. We were also incredibly impressed with the reusable cable ties provided by the Council, which will definitely make Part 2 a simpler job!
