North of England 6 Stage Road Relay Championships

Saturday saw the staging of the annual North of England Road Relay Championships.
Over recent years my home club Derby have been getting stronger and after the disappointment of last year with one of our best athletes limping round injured...we were really up for trying to break into the medals this time around.
It was a fantastic and emotional day and we ended up taking home the title by 15 seconds, I was lucky enough to take the final spot on the team and ran 5th leg, dropping from 1st to 2nd only at the very end of my leg!! After recent years of injury this was a special day for me, a year and a half ago I was close to giving up but days like this make all the hard work and pain worth while!!!

Comment by Owain Vaughan Lewes on October 5, 2010 at 10:27am: I know the feeling mate! Between 2000 and 2007 I basically lost the plot through injuries and bad training. It has only been during the last couple of years, even though they haven't been perfect, that I think I've turned the corner. And this is the first time in 5 years that I've put together 9 weeks of consistent quality training for this time of the year. And if I can get 6 months of good work done I might be in a position to break my 12 year marathon pb next March; at the age of 43.
Well done again and a nice blog.
