Deal 5 Miler 2014

Windy and very grey day, but the rain pretty much held off.  170 runners completed the race, which was won by Phil Hurst in the extremely fast time of 24min 26sec.

Deal Tri Air Ambulance charity fancy dress fun ride

This event was due to happen around Christmas time but was postponed due to the weather...hence the somewhat bizarre spectacle of Santa rubbing shoulders with the Easter Bunny in the middle of April ;)

The ride took place to raise funds for the Kent Air Ambulance, and as a memorial to Deal Tri member Dan Squire who was tragically killed in September last year.

I rarely snap cyclists.  My attempts at slow shutter speed shots were...I think 'awful' is putting it mildly ;)  But it was a fun event which I enjoyed.

Deal Tri Bra Run 2014

The 10th anniversary of this race, and apparently the final one.  Hope to see something similar return next year, maybe supporting a different charity or with a new organiser (Sally Scoggins is stepping aside after a decade's service).  Weather wasn't too bad at the start of the race.  Later a downpour arrived but I had left by that stage, vainly chasing another event which I consequently missed...  A smaller set that usual, and the general standard is poor.  Just wasn't on form at this race.

Deal 5 Miler 2012

The weather was shocking for this race.  Heavy rain and a howling wind greeted the competitors and others mad enough to be spectating. A large contingent from the Belgian athletics club WALO took part and probably wondered what had hit them ;)

Deal Tri 5 Miler, November 2011

Weather was pretty foul.  Wet and with a strong wind, making it very difficult to snap.
