The pink tshirt was "interesting"

Got a sub 1:45 pb which is what i wanted, so am happy. Really had to fight for it towards the end tho', that wind was biting! The t shirt was wack!

Seemed like a good idea at the time! Just about stayed on (an already-lowered) pace for the first half, then the wheels fell off. What were they thinking with that shirt? Good bumping into Jamie beforehand.

Nelly Sep 2013 1:54pm, 20 Sep 2013 1,174 posts	Quote Pin Nelly Entries are open at wilmslowhalfmarathon.org.uk for next years event on Sunday 23rd March 2014. Who's doing it? It is only two weeks before the Manchester Marathon next year, so I am undecided.
JamieKai chameleon Sep 2013 5:03pm, 20 Sep 2013 8,731 posts	Quote Pin JamieKai chameleon Probably will be in. Still undecided for target Spring marathon, so perhaps Wilmslow puts the death knell to Manchester...
buzby123 Sep 2013 5:31pm, 22 Sep 2013 296 posts	Quote Pin buzby123 I am going to do Wilmslow after a year off cos on holiday last year. Hopefully it will not be snowy AND probably assured the tshirt won't be bright pink? with a bit of luck anyway, surely not twice on the bounce. I have a place at London Marathon so not doing Manchester anyway, Wilmslow seems perfectly placed for either??? Oh just remembered, this comes just 2 weeks after Bolton Hill Marathon so maybe it will be a nice pootle instead of a guts out run. Would so love to break the 1:48 mark but will have to see.
Nelly Feb 2014 10:31am, 19 Feb 2014 1,439 posts	Quote Pin Nelly I decided not to enter this years race due to the proximity to the Greater Manchester marathon (my spring target race), but now I'm thinking a catered MP effort might not be a bad idea. I know that the organisers allowed official number transfers last year, but I can't find anything on the website this year. Does anybody know if they're allowing them this year? RunningBob? Presuming they do, does anyone have an unwanted/spare place for this years race?
Ice Mar 2014 7:05pm, 3 Mar 2014 9 posts	Quote Pin Ice I have a spare place up for grabs due to injury if you are still interested? Just need to email them your details and that's it sorted. Your number will have my first name on it but you can always cover that over ?
