Found the rock n roll stand at the london expo yesterday. I've emailed my cousin from the states to try and get her over to run this next year. She does a lot of the races over in the states and then would get that really cool medal called the "world Rocker". If my cousin comes over then I'm allowed to do this race.

Evening news times were from the clock which hacked me off since I was in the last 'corral' and had been to the porta loo etc from between it starting and me starting.

If they are going to have corrals like that, they shouldn't really use gun times, it's not fair. It also encourages slower people to start nearer the front (and give me runners' rage :p) to get a faster time...

I inadvertently found myself in corral no 3 instead of 10 on the basis that we were running late & just slipped in a gap with some other blue numbers! After a few pointed 'whats the slow fat lass doing here' glances realised my faux pas, everyone in fact had blue numbers and so I made the walk of shame back. Cost me about 15 mins gun to chip time

I think there will be changes next year. The gun vs chip placings must be one. Simply put...have chip, place by chip. I was meant to be in corral 3 but ended up in 4...with no problems at all. There was plenty room to run once we started. Every race has folk in the "wrong" pens, just as parkruns or non-chipped races rely on people to be honest with themselves as to their best starting point. Shyfire...you should have stayed and not made the walk of shame Also, in any distance race a lot of runners like a negative split. So, they enter using their fastest race time (if they are honest) but will start slower than folk who like to zoom off. So runners-rage from others is all fine and good...until those "others" get overtaken
