Torbay Half Marathon

24 June 2018 - By Langdon Williams

Hi all,

Thought I would let you know that your Devon based 2nd claim member pulled on the Witham singlet today.

I’ll get the excuse out of the way first…it was boiling☀☀☀☀easily the hottest day of the year in Torbay. My plans for a sub 80 minute quickly disappeared on one of the 8 hills and the sun was cooking the runners.

I trotted home in 85 mins and 1 second. I thoroughly enjoyed the bit where you get to run into the sea at the end!

Anyway for the record I came 42nd overall 4th M50.
My Exmouth Harriers club mate Tom Merson retained his title 3rd win in a row in 69:04.

Hope you are all well and racing and training hard!
Oh yes … my friend Bruin loved the race.

Kind Regards
Langdon
