My second ever run
was the race for life twilight on Liverpool waterfront. Another 5 k race from
the ferry terminal along the front towards Otterspool and then back along the
same route. I finished this run in
38mins [ish] it was very very wet and very very cold. For those who don’t know
Liverpool well the route is lined with cobbles and then paving slabs which
became very slippery! To the extent that
the stewards were advising people not to sprint due to the slipping hazard. I
had also broken my toe a few weeks before this race so wasn’t able to run to
the same pace as usual.
This Race is aimed at
raising money for cancer research, however I chose not to obtain any sponsor
ship for this as I think there is a limit as to how many times you can ask
people for money for charity etc. [I did make a donation out of my own pocket
as I normally do when the race is organised ror a specific cause.] however felt like they were constantly pushing
for more donations rather than saying thank-you for what they had raised so far
[£55000 the warm up guy said] and over all I didn’t like the way it was
organised and didn’t enjoy the race as much because of this. Would I do a race for life again? Maybe just
to see if it is the same as this one, after all the twilight run was a first
time event so perhaps a few teething problems were had. I’ll see if one fits
into my shift pattern during this year and if I can I’ll do it but properly
not.
