Everything was ready at least an hour before the race was due to start . .

with the race trophies lined up ready to be presented after the race had been run . .

. . there was loads of room in the Sports Hall . . just as well as it was cold and foggy outside . .

. . which didn't stop this runner . . and plenty of others too, no doubt . . from warming up on the track . .

. . before we made our way around the corner to the start of the race . .
