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!

Exactly becca :-)
Just seen my piccie as the route of the day :-)
Well, good luck everyone; let's hope it's not too hot, too puddly, too muddy, or too lacking in marshalla ;-)

See you in the market square - I will be fetched up but it may be hidden under a duvet if this frost is still hanging around - and if I'm not back when they start clearing away, please send out a search party!
Have fun everyone x

Hope you all had a good run. Looking forward to hearing all the stories from the day. I really enjoyed it and everything went to plan - relaxed in 1st half (1:36) and picked it up in 2nd half (1:33). Virus didn't affect me much, thankfully. It was very quiet out there, but I like races like that. The amount of water (in bottles!) was fantastic!!

Blimey Pipes a 3 minute negative split with a virus and running by yourself was a hell of an effort.

Where abouts did you finish with that time?

4.09.11. Didn't make the 4 hours cos of the dodgy hips. Was at 20 miles on 3 hours. Right on plan.10k in 1 hour. No problem. Then the wheels fell off. Had to walk a fair bit. Happy but disappointed

Uyuni - thanks - 2nd lady :-) - not sure overall. Garmin refused to work so I could only use it as an old-fashioned stop-watch (alongside mile markers that seemed a bit all over the place).

Sorry you didn't get the time you wanted, colindglen. But that looks like a PB for you - congratulations if it is.

2nd in the Boston marathon, now there's a claim to fame ;-) Amazing time - I guess there is always plenty of water when you are at the front of the queue!

Well done on the PB colin, I know all about the wheels falling off at 20 miles and run/walk/stagger home after Manchester last weekend so be proud of yourself for getting it done
