XXI Subida al Veleta

[johnb]

Hi Antonio, thanks for the encouragement and greeting!

My marathon pb is 3hr05 - I've only done one; Sevilla earlier this year. The weather was rotten and I made all the beginners mistakes in the book, including going out too hard. I went through the half in about 1hr24, which is about my best half time too! I did run in this years Almeria half as a training run for Seville, finishing fairly strongly in 1hr26. Best of all I got to set off shoulder to shoulder with Gebrselassie (I kept up for about five meters and later saw him flying along when the course doubled back). I enjoyed the run and I like your town very much. Add the Granada 1/2m last year and that is my whole running career...

I'm running in my home county of Yorkshire in three weeks time (off road marathon, the Yorkshireman - no pb expected there!), and assuming I don't damage my body in that, I will be running in the Granada half m. It would be great to meet there and have a chat! What kind of time will you be aiming for?

John
