Common sense prevailed this week and decided not to go and run the Stowmarket half marathon. Instead I ran the 9th leg of the South England 12 stage road relays for Bedford. Overall we finished 6 and qualified for the National finals. The 12 stage is a brilliant event and also a challenge for any club to get 12 runners out all n the same day at various times. The event is 12 stages starting with a short 5km leg then a 7.5km leg and this is repeated for 12 stages and the fastest team wins. The first 25 teams qualify for the National finals in a few weeks against Midlands and Norther teams who will be holding the 12 stage events over the next few weekends.
