Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,

Ticketyboo Is it possible to be delighted and gutted at the same time?

Knocked 2 1/2 minutes off my PB but didn't realise until I turned the last bend how close to sub 1.20 I was. If I had known I'm sure it would have given me that extra bit off motivation to go a little faster.

Well organised race with no issues to report.

UPDATE - I also set unofficial PB's for 5k, 10k and 10 Miles today and I didn't even have a bet on myself. Damn.

jp105 1:14:59 chip time and 1:15:02 gun time but I would rather go with the chip time for obvious reasons!! Very good race today.  Well organised and had lots of support on the way round.  Weather was very good and I managed to maintain a decent speed throughout.  A lot better than Alloa 2 weeks ago!

biru well what can i say...woopeee....knocked about 4 mins off my PB today:):) found the conditions to be just about perfect...a breeze and cool temperature. felt pretty strong for most of the race, although faded a little with a couple of miles to go. managed a wee burst in the last half a mile or so though;) the race was pretty well organised too....they seemed to have got rid of last years problems.

Ally C My second HM and my PB to date for this distance.  Renound for its fast course, it did not disappoint.  Only trouble is I have ran 2 HMs since and been unable to go under 90 mins.  Never mind I will persist.

z1000jeff Wasn't even going to do this one due to severe sciatica but went along to suppoort a friend and took my gear with me just in case. Got changed just in case I felt better with a couple of ibuprofens down me. Line up at the start on the basis that I might be able to hobble along slowly. Set of on the basis that I could always drop out. As this is an out annd back race by the time I reached 5 - 6 miles there was hardly any pooint in dropping out as I'd have to walk back anyway so carried on. Although in the event 1.44 was OK no-one ever likes doing a slow time whatever the circumstaces.  Oh well. There's always next year !

racheybabes Well, not a pb by about 5 mins but took it steady as legs were tired from fridays long run. Managed to do just under 8 min/miles which has given me a bit more confidence for paris' pace. All in all a good day which was well marshalled! Nice to talk to a few CH afterwards aswell :)

RedBen There it is, official time - a full 17 minutes and 12 seconds off my pb!  Absolutely made up and very surprised - shows what you can do with a cold and a 68 hour week at work the week before a race!  Thanks for all the bets and enjoy the credits (thank God I bet on myself!)!

UPDATE - Yippee a PB by nearly a minute. Great race and so pleased that it went well this year it was well organised and well marshalled. Thoroughly enjoyed that - next time will break the 1:50 mark!! 

Official time now confirmed at 1:50:15
