On a dry day, but with a cold wind, the route took in 1 lap of the NE segment of the city, on a lovely course over a slightly undulating route on a mixture of rural and urban roads.
The start was in College Lane, going out to Westhampnett roundabout, then round Goodwood airfield, the last 2 Km on Lavant Road which is downhill, so a nice speedy finish. The final approach to the finish was through the main car park entrance, due to renovation work at Chichester Festival Theatre.
It was not the balmiest of days for the Chichester 10k today, but we can’t grumble. Mick Dee was the only other jogger there, he said he hadn’t run for a while, so would be happy just to get round. The back two miles into a wind from the West gusting to 40mph+ wasn’t as bad as I had feered it might be & rain held off.
I also said hello to Mark Greet running for Horsham Joggers & during the race chatted with Terry Bourne, running in other colours.
