Was it worth it?
I did the Nike 10k yesterday. I can't tell you what time I got because apparently my microchip malfunctioned and did not record a time for me. So that was really worth the £25 entry fee, wasn't it?
In a way, it is good that the time was not recorded, since I happen to know that it was somewhere just above "sloth-like" (influenced, no doubt, by the upturn in drinking activity and downturn in running activity that I have experienced recently). But I did run all the way without stopping, so that's something to be grateful for. (My knees don't quite agree, but I think we shall choose to ignore them.)
Second reason to be pleased that my chip was not recognised: the Nike website has video recordings of each person's finish that can be freely accessed by the general public. But not mine. Hurrah and double hurrah! My stumbling sweaty-faced shame remains PRIVATE!!!
