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

Blister After the 800m I had a nasty cough but it faded slightly by the start. The race started at 3:30pm and it was SO HOT (around 25-28 degrees). There were only 4 of us doing the race, one guy who was a 16min 5K runner. Right from the start I was placed 3rd and ran the whole thing on my own. I am really p*ssed off with the crap time, it's pafetic really I should have at least ran 18:20 but I think there were 4 things that stopped me doing this:

1) It was very hot and I can't run in the heat
2) I drank too much before the start and it was sloshing around in my stomach
3) I was on my own the whole was so couldn't pace it or push that hard
4) I don't think running an 800m race before is very good preparation!

Oh well, at least there is a next time and hopefully it won't be so hot, plus it was my first track race.

Splits: 1.24, 1.26, 1.29, 1.31, 1.32, 1.35, 1.35, 1.34, 1.36, 1.34, 1.32, 1.23 - according to the official results I did 18:30!
