Hastings is a very hilly course with the main climb from 3miles to just past 7 miles, but at least you get the hills out first. It was not helped by the unusually cold weather, my car showed -1c when we got to Hastings and add to that a cold East North Easterly wind the wind chill officially was -5c. For this one back out with the winter gear, I (Graham) donned, tracksters, long sleeve top with vest over, hat and gloves. However the award for if not best dressed Uckfield Runner certainly most dressed runner goes to Racheal who managed to find at least two more layers than me in her stock of running stuff: well done Racheal (but let me know if you ran and think you can beat that). I did have to check the entry details for the date yep it was March. Still saw some runners in vest and shorts, made of tougher stuff than me, and what are they going to do when summer does come. AS always the event was well supported with over 3,000 runners and good spectator support along the full route in spite of the cold.
Running from Uckfield were Jason Hillier 1hr 32.46, Graham West 1hr 39.33, Jo Nash 1hr 51.51, Rachael Hornigold 1hr 56.00, Sarah Ballinger 2hrs 19.39, Chris Lugg 2hrs 07.03, Ray Edmondson 2hrs 33.20, Kathy Gore 2hrs 37.44.
No picture I'm afraid Lorraine (my wife) understandibly thought it too cold to stand around taking photos: don't blame her.
Charlotte Menzies ran the Heathfield 10k and in spite of the cold and the hills ran a PB of 48.29. Well done Charlotte

Really good to see the beginners group continues with strength with over 30 beginners coming along for the weekly session.
