Shame about that Mike, but there is always another race on another day, good to meet you both today.
Not my best race, the heat really got to me, I felt so bad at the finish but it didn't put me off & I may be back next year to try again.
Well done everyone who raced today

Sorry to witness your withdrawing MicknPhil. That was a tough day indeed and if I'd been poorly only a couple of weeks ago I wouldn't have wanted to do that at all!!

Found the heat tough and the hills on the 2nd lap had got higher and steeper. Well organised, with some good spectator support through the villages but the Greenway on the 2nd lap seemed endless!

The heat after 6 miles was seering on a generally exposed course so to get to mile 17 is great going Mick. I felt sick from half way round and onwards to the end a case of out to quick and a cocktail of caffine gels and lucazade sport going round like a washing machine...............uugh
On the plus side managed a pb of 3.45 today knocking off 16 mins from my previous bestwhich was last year at the Shakespeare

Sorry to hear that Mick - saw you and Phil at the start looking fresh. Hard day for lots of folks I reckon. Like you Tumble, heat put paid to more ambitious plans, you weren't far behind me, though I just squeeked a PB. Million thanks to Steve and Houston (not fetchies) who ran with me from 23 to 26 - we forced each other to keep running when the quads said no.

back home on the wirral, great to see so many Fetchies and it was an honour to line up at the start with the fantastic mr fox, Paula and gooner.
had a quick chat with helen at the end, but she said something about going and getting plastered - lunaman, nice to see you.
Mick - your inspirational mate, its just one bad run - that's all. Well really enjoyed the race, yes it got a bit warm and I suffered from stomach cramps after 22 miles, battled through them until I saw the 25 mile mark - got a speed wobble on for the last bit and was chuffed with me time of 4.29.34 (Garmin).
pains went after two Ibuprofen, one pastie, mars bar and two litres of pop
will have to drink a bit more before the Chester mara in may
