Country lanes, trail sections, rolling hills… and a sun that clearly hadn’t read the race briefing. 🥵
TAC runner, Nick Robinson crossed the line of the Indian Queens Half Marathon in 1:54:39 (236th of 605). Not the time he’d hoped for, but in the heat, it was a victory simply for not melting into a puddle somewhere around mile 8!
Some days it’s about chasing a PB. Other days it’s about surviving, smiling (eventually), and earning that medal 🎖️ 😅
Well done Nick, perhaps an ice bath recovery? 🤔💛

🏅 Medal Monday! 🏅
Two TAC athletes took on the Otter Rail & River 10K this weekend, with Gemma and Kevin tackling the beautiful course from Tipton St John through scenic trails and woodland surrounding the village. 🌿
With soaring temperatures, the hose pipes, extra water stations and sponge buckets were very welcome and much appreciated by everyone out on the course! ☀️💦
A fantastic event, superbly organised by Tipton St John Playing Field Association in conjunction with Sidmouth Running Club.
Well done, Gemma and Kevin! 👏💛❤️
