Alresford 10k, 2025

 I'm terribly late in writing this up, so it's a sketchy post.

Alresford is a charming and quite posh town in Hampshire. It was my first time running this and I'd been told by several people that (a) it's a cracker and (b) it's hilly. It's also a fixture on the Hampshire Road Race league circuit. Sounds good, eh?

Both of these things were true. There was a good LRR contingent there (my first non-RR10 race outing with a decent club representation) and a friendly vibe. The undulating course (veering into quite nifty inclines a couple of times) made it interesting. I managed to hold my own and crossed the finish line in 39:19 (here are my stats).

Instead of a medal everyone got a buff, a flapjack and a bag of local watercress. Fantastic!

This beats a medal any day

There were more goodies to come - I managed to get the M50 prize and a box of nibbles and local produce. Happy days!
