Name: Elaine Blades-Jordan

 

Age: 37

 

Favourite pre race food: Omelette or toasted bagel with Jam.

Favourite post race food: Chocolate milk shake, later on  Mozzarella pizza ( especially after a fell race).

Best race: Not sure i have done enough races yet, but for enjoyment Gin Pitts 5 in 2009 my first ever 5 mile road race - Roy Lee ran the course with me. For time: I was pretty pleased with my Garstang 1/2 marathon in 2010 , i did 1:35 mins however they had to close the course due to flooding so i only did 11.8 miles.

Worst race: Dropping out of London marathon at mile 10, in the year 2012 because my leg was very sore.

Something you don't know about me: I use to swim with Wigan Metropolitian Swimming Scheme of Exellance. I got my National times in Butterfly and Brestroke and  I swam for Lancashire. I Swam with many olympians including Sharon Davis and Mark Foster.

Claim to fame: I have met most of the Wigan rugby league team (thats in 1984) as they use to also use the pool for morning swims.  I have ran on the treadmill next to Heather small out of M people and Ruby Wax. I once said "alright" to Dirty Den out of East enders as he was leaving WHSmiths in Manchester Fort.
