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!

GimmeMedals, looks like you had great conditions. It pissed down all day for me and parts of my course, which was a 26 mile loop, were flooded. One deep wading required. Mostly walked in 6:42.

The app did have an issue in that the process to start the app wasn't that well thought out! There was a "start" button/option....but that didn't start the activity. The actual "start" button on my phone was hidden until I scrolled down the screen.. As I wasn't going for a time I just checked it was started before I set off, but I can see how it was easily missed. I actually quite liked the app, and I was amazed how little battery it used compared to the rare occasion I use strava on my phone (the distance when using strava on my my phone is always out compared to what my Garmin would say, too).

I couldn't have hoped for better weather, Groundhog! The forecast is still saying it's raining here, but it isn't.

I had perfect weather too - ran with the wind on my back and most of the time the sun was out so I had to rethink what I was wearing - shorts it was :-)

I wore shorts too. I figured they are easier to deal with when it rains and the rain drips from the bottom of a waterproof onto the garment below. I hate soggy trousers.

4.01.52 for me in the rain, mud and wind! Really happy with that as significantly tougher course than London. Feet submerged at mile 10 but thankfully no blisters or chafing from the rain. Think I'm going to target 3:45 for the real London next year 😃
