    Lovely video! I ran this race as a training run while on holiday in Telford from Canada. In my mind it’s one of the most beautiful races I’ve ever run. I would happily run it again.
    I was also warned about the “nothing but uphills” in the second half and didn’t find it that bad!

    • @middleagedrunningman

    Genuinely loved that video Tim (Tom).
    There was a picture of the iron bridge on the front of my O Level History textbook. It's been iconic to me ever since.
    As I used to tell my pupils back in the day, how amazing is it that they built the world's first iron bridge in a town called Ironbridge. Coincidence or what??
    I did the Telford 10k the last two years. The first couple of miles of that route seems to be on the same bit of course.
    On the Broom bucket list now for the future.

    When you crossed the bridge, you should have popped into the gift shop for a machete and a bong as gifts for family 🤣

      Didn’t really have a leg to stand on I’m afraid. It came down to- kids get a holiday or I get a race….. ALMOST suggested that I could do it on the journey down, but I picked up on some fairly hostile vibes!!

    As MARM is crossing the IRON bridge could not help but look up irony. "Verbal irony is a figure of speech that communicates the opposite of what is said, while sarcasm is a form of irony that is directed at a person, with the intent to criticise." Smashing it out there. Can't remember the last time I was rocketing it! Best wishes.
