Fail.

My own worst enemy due to a hilly 8.88 mile race on Wednesday, and a hugely over-ambitious start.

Hard luck DeeGee, next time mate, how close did you get?

No joy for madrocker either it seems.

Lets see if someone can crack it next weekend, 3 attempts me included...

Will do some more stalking during the week to see if there are any more attempts on the horizon.

Keep plugging away folk.

41 seconds- 42.41! I wasn't sufficiently well hydrated, and having looked back at my Garmin trace I lost 30 odd seconds taking on water when I normally wouldn't need to.

My club have been kind and given me a handicap time of 43:00, that may be achievable. Definitely more achievable than 41:59 :-) *stating the bleeding obvious*

Good luck tonight Nookie

FR I don't get it. So that handicap means you running 43 is the equivalent of running 42? Hmm not sure that works in the context of this thread ;-) how is it worked out though out of interest?

TT, you get a handicap time based on recent performances. The slowest runners will set off at 7:30 I will set off at 7:47, the fastest at 7:55:30!!!, with the intention that we all cross the line close to 8:30
