Trent Park Triffic 10k more than OK . .

Had a great morning in Trent Park last Sunday, taking photos of Trent Park Running Club's Triffic Trail 10k. It was red hot just standing still and pressing a button on a camera, goodness knows how it felt to be racing 10k . .

Trent Country Park was spectacular in the sunshine . . if you don't know it, it's in Enfield in North London . . and before the 10k started I took my step ladder for a walk . .

And although I couldn't actually see the start from where I was waiting, it wasn't long before over 300 runners came streaming across the meadow towards me . .

It didn't seem much longer before the runners were all headed back to the finish . . a bit more spread out after just over 9k of course . . and amazingly, some still had the energy to wave and smile as they ran past . .

  

But most were just focussed on reaching the finish line, and who could blame them in Sunday's heat?

Well I've certainly allowed this blog of mine to lapse, haven't I . . and I need to pick it up and start running with it again . . it's funny how the longer you leave something like this the more difficult it becomes to start again . .

Time now to get going again, as I want to thank the organisers of the recent Richmond Park Marathon for having me along on the day to take photos of the event, because if they hadn't then some of my photos wouldn't have appeared on the cover of, and inside, the latest edition of Running Free magazine . .

Thanks also to Fiona Bugler, the editor, and her team, for choosing to use some of my photos . . and thanks too to the runners for their fantastic reaction to seeing a bloke on a step ladder pointing a camera at them . .

The photos below were taken beside Bishop's Pond, close to Richmond and Bishop's Gates . . one of them is the photo used on the cover of Running Free . . but I thought it might be amusing to show the full sequence of images I took of this particular bunch of runners as they approached and ran past me . . and you can see the rest of my photos from the Marathon here . .
