anitad Brilliant race - really enjoyed it. Much better prepared than Bath Half. Still needed to walk during last couple of miles. Think I started off too fast again (~ 10mins/mile) but this got me ahead of my predicted time. Maybe if I started slower I'd be able to keep going longer? Or starting slowly means I'd be on my feet longer so better to run faster and finish quicker??? Didn't need the loo part way round either so food/drink routine better this time too. Not so good having to get back to College Green after race when finish is at Harbourside. Bitton Road Runners 2:19:04 2:22:21 2:30:00 2:22:21 47.70

benfowler My first race since the Great South Run in 2002 and my first ever half marathon. Very pleased with my time as work has taken me to Russia and back 3 times in the last 2 months and made any training a nightmare! First 10k in 46 mins and first 10 miles in 1 12... So my return to the GSR this year should see me beat my time of 1hr 25 when I was 22 :) Unaffiliated 1:34:44 1:40:30 1:45:00 1:40:30 58.09

Guestie Probably increased pace too much in early stages so struggled in the last few miles but managed to kep going up the climbs. Need to get back into intervals and tempo training as too much general running in training. GoodGym 1:50:00 1:56:46 2:00:00 1:56:46 53.48

Impossible is Nothing Dreadful race (again - a few of these recently). On reflection didn't take it seriously enough and didn't eat or drink properly beforehand, and have a cold developing. Even with gels bonked from halfway really and last few miles a struggle. Quite annoying. Result 401st out of 10827 Westbury Harriers 1:22:25 1:24:42 1:28:37 66.97

thelastdom Went to a pre race step aerobics class led by Mr Motivator wearing a nurse's uniform and thought 'NOW i have truly seen it all'. Have missed nearly two weeks of training because of a knee injury and nearly pulled out because it satill wasn't right. Even lining up on the start about ten minutes from the off I nearly turned back to just watch because the knee was twinging. Instead I whacked my tunes on the iPod and did my usual long distance bopping warm up and decided just to trot round slow and easy and maybe duck out after about 6 miles of recovery pace. After looking at my watch on about the two mile mark i realised I had paced it all wrong and gone off like the clappers so decided to maintain it and just go for it and crash out when the knee finally gave way. It hurt a bit going round but it wasn't anything i couldn't deal with and was chuffed silly with a great PB (even though all my mates teased me and said i was a conman since i'd been banging on about a knee injury all weekend and then put in my fastest half ever - but it really WAS hurting, mofos!! Great race, really enjoyable course, totally smashing weekend. This is why i run :-) Clapham Chasers 1:32:12 1:32:12 1:39:00 1:32:12 63.32
