Oranj Apr 2016 12:49pm, 25 Apr 2016 220 posts	0 Oranj 3:11:27, off a big negative split (1:37/1:34). She must've been very scared of the distance at the start, but that second half will surely give her confidence for another go

I didn't notice to start with because I don't think the spectators knew it was her, there was none of the furore I expected around a celeb. I was on steady 3:10 pace, but I'd had about 70s of a wait to cross the start line. She would have been (I assumed) straight over the line at 10.00 from the green start. So I reckoned at that point she was looking at about 3:15 (and turns out she did make halfway in 1:37). But I never expected that she would be speeding up, fair play. On the other hand, she was running with headphones in. Potential DQ?

Bazoaxe Apr 2016 12:47pm, 26 Apr 2016 10,015 posts	0 Bazoaxe PtB, you are right. celebs had a few metes at the front of green in which they assembled with main green behind. I was maybe 4th row of main green and crossed the line in 10 seconds so holmes would have been less than that. I did brush shoulders with gary from the apprentice an also ran alongside clark Carlisle for a while who seemed to have some sort of barefoot/minimal type footwear on. Other than seeing Kelly getting her picture taken and interviewed before start I didn't see her on route
