simpleeeee Sep 2009 3:50pm, 21 Sep 2009 123 posts	Quote Pin simpleeeee really enjoyed it yesterday though got jostled about a bit through the first couple of miles from Zone Orange 'B'- far more than when starting further back. great to meet a few fetchies at the end including DG, Lytham Runner and Old Croc. thought i had exactly the same finish time as DG yesterday though great run now seems to have given me the result on the nod, 2113 to DG's 2114. better luck next time!!

Meglet Sep 2009 4:54pm, 21 Sep 2009 1,811 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I agree Si, they were inclines, but they were relentless in the heat and with people walking all around they were difficult to run up. every time i felt i was getting a decent rhythm we hit a hill and i lost it again. i found it demoralising.

Mr. K. Sep 2009 5:59pm, 21 Sep 2009 1,047 posts	Quote Pin Mr. K. Hope everyone had a good day - saw a few Fetchies at the photo point, saw some going round and missed some at the start too. Kept to the side of the road and got great support from the crowds...they seemed to like a Viking I was also called a redhead at one point Put in a 1.48.03 and fairly happy with splits but it was getting a bit warm under that hat so made use of the showers. Didn`t think much of the powerade so left my share for others.. I`ll be back next year for the biggest party you can fit in 13.1 miles - well 13.2 but you get my point Race Results - greatrun.org
