Sport Relief Mile 2012

Brighton, Marina Drive

25th March 2012

As a bit of a last-minute thing, Mr Sidey and Pikachu went down to Brighton and signed up for the Sport Relief Mile.

We watched the first one (this is the slower group starting):

Including this very small runner:

and some colourful characters including a running banana and whoopee cushion:

Then it was our turn.
As Pikachu has little legs, Mr Sidey carried him

At the start, ready to go:

We did the run in 7min23sec. (More data below.)
Here is Pikachu wearing our medal:

And a few more pics of costumed characters:

Run Data:

I ran the mile in 7m23s at an average speed of 12.7km/h.
I had a slow start as I was in the crowd and, as there was no bag drop, I had to wear my back-pack. This was filled with drinks, camera, coat etc and weighed in at 7.3kg (I weighed it when I got home!!!) - oh, and I had to carry Pikachu!

You can see the slow start, and the drop halfway when the course doubles back on itself.
