Promathon 1/01/08

The first of January and beautiful, sparkling weather filled the route with sunshine and blue skies.
Well no it didn't; it was very grey and drizzly but at least there wasn't strong winds which made fast times possible. If you hadn't overdone it the night before. There was a good strong turn out from PRC and as Leo and I weren't running - both having seasonal bugs - we took some photos which you can see below. Un-pre-arranged, Leo and I covered either end of the race: I did miles 1 and 4 and he did 2 and 3. Bored of looking at bland photos I might have tweaked the contrast a bit. Porty colours are Navy and Gold like the sea and sand - not grey above grey!
Well done to all who braved the dull weather. See you next Wednesday.


Ian looking far too chipper.


Bert, whose moustache waxes and wanes with the cycles of the moon.


Good to see at least one Porty on the front line.


Asleep or seeking guidance?


Is 112 doing that hair ironically?

Ian got a beard for Christmas (Paul says a beard is for life, not just Christmas)


Averaging faster than 5 minute miling John Newsom is number one.

Some came dressed for the seaside.


That front row start may have been a bit hasty.
