Having flicked through a few of those photos you can tell that the wave system was based on bullshit predicted times. Why can't people just tell the truth?

Just had a closer look at the results and the women both before and after me in the 45+ category both had times about 10 mins longer than mine! and it took me just over 10 mins to cross the line. Now I know I was in the right place! Although I did have to climb over the railings! not a great sight!

Eh??? Who's killing the shoe fairies..??

Now - who thinks that Brum City Council and EDF Energy will invest in the infrastructure to make this a decent Big City HM???

Anyone..??

I've just emailed a letter to Athletics Weekly expressing concerns :)

Wonder if it'll be published..??

Have they seriouslu put a vidoe of me stood in a queue on there?! Should be worth a laugh at work tomorrow. Oh, and eL Bee, I hope they will, just in order so that they end this contract of 5 yrs races on a couple of highs but you never know with a council at the best of times, let alone with the cuts they're facing...
