Blind Dan walked for Look. See the video clip on the Birmingham news site (http://www.birminghammail.net/news/top-stories/2010/10/24/birmingham-half-marathon-sun-shines-as-15-000-pound-streets-97319-27535220/#ixzz13JKmhG7L) at 1:05. His aim was 3:45. I started 7 mins after the gun and passed him after about 1 min of running so he must have let most of the speedy people go first and then set off after about 5 mins. He was in the crowd a bit but not in the way.

So disappointing to have my 'home' race seen as a farce, it was really badly organised and whoever planned that route was clearly not a runner! There are so many beautiful roads and routes around the city centre surrounding suburbs it could have been a lovely, flat, fast run. The way the start went from a three lane motorway to a single lane b road 30m from the start was ridiculous, I nearly ran into the barrier at full speed. Luckily I was ahead of the traffic at the end but if I had been caught up in the traffic I would have been furious. Organisers pull your finger out next year.
