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,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

BlueWombat My third marathon in four weeks, and the 10th of the year. It shows. I need to train properly before the next one if I am to enjoy it.

Hollywoof! Why not?

Race splits (half from Garmin, half from markers):


7:29
7:31 included a horrid railway footbridge
7:25 onto the river route now
7:35
7:35 looking for kingfishers, none found all day
somewhere between 6:12 (bad Garmin) and 8:14 (bad mile marker)
7:27 
7:34
7:31 onto a twisty loop of small paths in the Lea Country Park now - some problems with dogs
7:34
7:51 left ankle has started hurting - leftover from Clarendon
7:24
7:45 half mara was somewhere about 1:38 - my fastest half this year!
7:31
7:41 start of a very long stretch of river here? Some headwind but nowhere near as strong or cold as it has been in the last few days
7:31
7:45
7:44 lost time on these miles as I had my Garmin on Avg Pace rather than Lap Pace
7:53 perked up by the sight of pirates DTS and Hannabelle marshalling 
7:59 lost time on these miles due to feeling knackered
8:13 legs have started to seize...
7:55 work out the time splits needed and thinking of Mr Minutes and School Runner
8:02 1 or 2 people overtake me - this is different to my recent maras...
8:07 quads tired, body tired, maintaining this pace is an effort
8:12 onto the big Hackney Marsh playing fields now - running round the footie pitches - there's a superbly cheerful marshall on the bridge here.
4:03 to the finish, but passed by two more people and couldn't respond...


So... the finish line time is... 3:17:48

Definitely a PB, but I'm not sure it counts as sub-200... talking to Nokka after the race we both measured it (with normal GPS caveats) at maybe half a mile short...

Pleased with the new PB, happy to have done a marathon where I've hurt a bit more - not annoyed that I did postive splits (would probably have been 1:38, 1:44?) - at least it shows I tried...


I've entered this into the list as 3:21:40 to adjust for the dodgy length....

tramps Excellent trail race along the Lee Valley.  Great organisation for a very good cause.  Met the inspirational Fetch cover girl (PH) just before the start.    Not sure if I'll run the Four2Go, but I'm pleased that I did this one.

Ultra Kanga Kazzaaaaah!! Don't bet on me!!!!

Don't ask why I've entered a marathon so soon after Beachy.  This will be only my second 20+ mile run since FLM!  Hippo and Tracey have a lot to answer for!
