05/09/2010  Bristol Half Marathon
Barry Wild ran today's Bristol half marathon, one of 10262 finishers on a hilly course, in the rain as well as a breeze.
The race was no breeze for Barry as he said 'it hurt lots'.
However, he recorded 1:28:00 to finish 350th. In such a large field, that's a very creditable placing.   Further Info
