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
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Notes & Comments

Just outside my target 70% WAVA, but can't argue with a PB, particularly given the lack of taper and long runs, and that I could barely run on Friday. Glad not to let my punters down! Frustratingly, had the race been 29 days later, or me born 29 days earlier, I would have been >70%.

Probably felt a little easier than last year, and I didn't notice the hills quite so much. Fantastic day for it - bright sunshine but still quite cool.

Note for future reference - usual pre-(long) race breakfast of fruit and fibre and toast at 7:45, but topped up with a banana at about 9:15 - which I think helped. Also grabbed a jelly baby at 12 miles. Perhaps I should have taken two...

I now need to do that all over again on Saturday, with an extra eight miles tacked on the end.

Good work Ed! Knew you were on for PB today - I have squandered lots of credits this weekend by forgetting about betting on both you and me. Nevermind, there'll be even more credits when you go 70%+ in your fourth 20-miler! :)

You'll note my carefully drafted targets - that DON'T say 70% WAVA for every race - just 70% WAVA at some point during the year, so I will probably have another crack in the autumn. And being a year older then (as it were) I won't have to PB to get it. Although I will want to!!

What colour was this year's hoodie, by the way?
EdJ
Bright orange. Am already having to fight off both daughters from stealing it.
arbster
Ah yes, I think Fetch described it as "Guantanamo Orange" ;-)
