Ultra Kazzaaaaah!! Sep 2007 4:56pm, 16 Sep 2007 2,195 posts	Quote Pin Ultra Kazzaaaaah!! Right, I'll try this again - bliddy wireless router! Most enjoyable run. 12 miles (furthest for a long time) followed by 16.9km cycle. Still well behind on Beachy plan but feel a lot happier than I did.

Try not to beat yerself up mate, I know it's hard not to but I look at it like what I did is what I was going to get today regardless. I would have liked better but we can always do better. In other words, not crap, just not quite what you wanted

Snapstinget Sep 2007 5:11pm, 16 Sep 2007 234 posts	Quote Pin Snapstinget Why do we all worry about courses being long? They are all long to a certain extent. They have to be. And its easy to run an extra bit just because most of us aren't cynical enough to follow the shortest possible route (there'd be too much roadkill) I had a fun run today. But I got to 5 k and was suddenly absolutely kn*ckered.

Sep 2007 6:14pm, 16 Sep 2007 10,035 posts	Quote Pin That is true in my case actually Snaps. The field was about the most crowded I have raced. Loads of people were in the sub 1:30 area and I was passing loads of people for most of the race. I'd say without exaggeratin that thousands of folk started off muvh too far up front. However, this maybe wasn't helped by teh organisers telling everyone to move up to the front too. Basically too many people for the course I reckon... BUT there you go, it was what it was and I ran what I ran and that's all there is to it. I enjoyed myself and that's what matters. Good run mr Bee Snaps, did you set off too fast?

Met a couple of Fetchies as well, which was nice. Pretty pleased
