Portobello Road Race 19/06/08

Adam Priestley is second to the line
A fine evening for a four mile canter along the prom
and back. Well maybe a bit blustery for the first and last mile but
not as cold as last year when gloves and scarves were manditory for
spectators and optional for runners. Big thanks to Alan and his second
year as race director and maybe if we all ask nicely he will decide
not to take early retirement! Big thanks also to Jennie who is only
really PRC by marriage and yet seems to keep the machinery well oiled
behind the scenes, from pre-race labels to post-race accounts. It all
seemed to go well from where I was standing. Thanks to all who turned
up. Here are photos of some of the runners. Results here
