puffed Leg tightened up at 1/4 way round, painful by 1/2 and excruciating by 3/4, managed to hobble over the line, then couldn't walk for a day, literally. All that work on the leg hasn't paid off, and it's  back to the drawing board.

Grid PB.  Chuffed, target was 1:52.  Course officially 193 metres short.  Chip time: 1:45:37, adjusted time: 1:46:32 based on a pace of 4:45/km.

My RW event review...

In short: A race with lots of potential
In full: ...but the 2010 edition of this race wasn't quite good enough in a few too many areas.

* Late start in very cold conditions - bad news for the unprepared.
* Starting gun/horn inaudible even a little way back. Note: loud music does not equal a great atmosphere.
* Wave starts clearly needed for a race with that many runners.
* First eight miles heavily congested, especially Bute Park.
* Insufficient barriers and protecting from street furniture (bollards, seating etc.) in pedestrianised areas.
* Mile marker signage was inconspicuous.
* Route ran deviated from published route resulting in a course short by at least 0.1 miles - in my view, the least forgivable of errors and the most disappointing. I would expect to see some official acknowledgement of this.
* Disappointing goody bag for the money.
* Having to cross the race route to exit after the finish wasn't sensible, and I'm sorry to say that the marshals at this section were silent and did not exercise any control or otherwise assist those trying to cross.

On the plus side, despite being unsuitable for the number of runners I found the course to be very nice on the whole, and the people of Cardiff gave runners some phenomenal support. Although the shuttle train wasn't running, getting to the start was a breeze.

I'll hopefully run this again, but only after they've run another race where the more important issues have been addressed. Furthermore I'd need to see some acknowledgement, from the race organisers, of the short course, because I wouldn't run any race where I wasn't certain the organisers took the distance issue very seriously. I hope I go back to run this in 2012 or beyond.
