Do any of you Thurrock guys and girls know a lady called Brenda Stone? She used to be my coach at the club when I was a kid .I moved out of the area a while ago but would love to know how she is.
My husband and I ran this 2 years ago, it chucked it down with the whole race but we both still enjoyed it .It's a very interesting course, with a few very tough hills but well worth it.
Nearly there now... the build up seems to have been a catalogue of mini -disasters....this week I had an infested cyst on my back which just grew and grew and took no notice of all the antibiotics I threw at it...so had to have it cut open to get all the poison and pus out...so now have a very sore back with a very big dressing on it !! Haven't done any training for 10 days now - now that's a taper !!! We're flying out Wednesday morning - now starting to get very nervous about them actually taking the bike - we've even gone to the lengths of coming up with plan B - which seems to involve lots of trains (and money)... Hopefully see you guys out there - I'll be in a black Saucony tri suit with a bloody great plaster on my back !!
