Rog T Nov 2019 2:45am, 4 Nov 2019 298 posts	Quote Pin Rog T Lazy post, copied from another thread: 3:28 and a bit for me in New York. Knew early on that I wasn't 100 percent but thought I'd still aim for sub 1:30 half and adjust from there. Didn't adjust soon enough to slow it down from that point and the wheels came off. Walk jogged most of the way from about 17 i think. Meant I got to take in more of the sights and atmosphere. Not bothered by the time - I knew it was a gamble and had an amazing day regardless. I may blog in a few days, but for now enjoying a few more days in the Big Apple. Well done Chris - sounds tough!

Not always easy to do, even if things are out of your control such as they were. Rog - Sorry to hear about the touch day in NYC. But it's been a breakthrough year regardless of yesterday. Enjoy the rest of the time there.
