A smallish field at the start.
Gerry ready for number two.
Ready to start the timing clock as soon as the runners are set off.
Away we go!
Lovely autumn colours on the trees.
A small section is run through the suburbs before you reach the country side.
Friendly helpers at the first water table.
A beautiful wire sculpture on one of the farm hills.
Gerry going strong.
Horseshoe bend is quite a hilly out-and-back section.
The turn at the top of Horseshoe bend. Time for a walk and a drink. 🙂
Gerry at full speed coming down the hill.
Beautiful scenery.
Lots and lots of corn fields, just about ready to be harvested.
Another short out and back section and Gerry still strong enough for a jiggle.
A whole variety of mushrooms along the way.
The end.
Taking off my timing chip – always tricky on sore legs.
Free refreshments at the finish.
Gerry very happy with his hot Milo. He must have toughened up looking all summery when it was freezing!
Three layers of clothing all the way on the run for me.
Number two done! We achieved our goal of back-to-back half marathons for the weekend.
With the first of our back-to-back 21s in the bag, we were looking forward to the next one which should give us a good indication of where we are with our training for the marathon in three weeks time.
