oceanspirit Sep 2012 10:05pm, 13 Sep 2012 8,140 posts	0 oceanspirit I received my shirt and number today. Lovely shirt. Number blue 8444. My plan....run slow and see what happens....walk some then run some more then walk some then run a bit more....and get 13.1 miles done.....May be a PW for me though.

Is it PB-able, or is it too congested?

Frobester Jan 2013 12:19pm, 10 Jan 2013 21,540 posts	0 Frobester I won't whinge this time. It was my first half marathon, the first time it was run, and I loved it. It was, back in those days (only about 3 or 4 years ago) relatively uncluttered and had definite PB potential. It's now massively oversubscribed and popular, but I'd suggest that if you start reasonably back from the front you should be ok. It's chip timed and you have starting pens depending on your estimated finish times, so there's normally a gap between different ability groups.
Nelly Jan 2013 12:27pm, 10 Jan 2013 666 posts	0 Nelly Thanks both. So basically worth a run if I can get a free place, although I'd probably be able to find a better PB opportunity elsewhere.
