Forest Faerie Sorry to all those who bet on me. I tried my best. Good race with great atmosphere, especially the piper lol. Who would have thought there was a hill in the fens. They must have had it specially built for the race Thetford AC 48:33 50:00 49:49 50:03 61.34

IBB,MBGOG Strong wind and a night up with the baby conspired to slow me down on this one. However, great race, very well organised and a lovely course - overall, I had a great time and would recommend this to anyone (wind off the fens notwithstanding...) Unaffiliated 58:49 59:20 56:00 59:20 45.30
Jigs PB attained !! :) But disappointed I didn't get under 45 mins :( Windy on the return route. Maybe forget about the Piper next year! Yeah ?? Unaffiliated 35:40 45:04 45:00 45:04 59.98
JKC Norfolk wow Unaffiliated 38:20 43:40 43:40 64.76
KinkyS Missed a PB by 2 seconds, argh! Never really felt up for it to be honest - the first km was a quickie due to being downhill, but everything I made up there I lost in 6-8km because of the headwind, and then again at 8.5km because of the uphill. Legs felt heavy and unresponsive. Trying not to feel too disappointed - I haven't done any speed training, I'm recovering from a marathon, it was windy, I'm injured and I've got some stuff going on in my head. 19th woman out of 225 isn't that bad, but sorry about the points guys :-( 2.5 years and almost 4000 miles of training since I ran 45:34 for the first time, and still the 45 minute barrier eludes me... Todmorden Harriers & AC 40:05 45:30 44:59 45:30 65.37
Marts Good race. fast but save something fo the drag at 8.5k. PB potential if I can get through December without my traditional cold. Oh and you get Beer for finishing Sorry all too much wind again missed it by 3 secs. 1st 5k 18:20 2nd 5k 19:07 despite moving up about a dozen places Werrington Joggers 35:44 37:23 36:30 37:27 70.60
Metal Martin Really pleased with this for my second 10k. Smashed my previous PB by over 6 minutes (to be fair I was 3 stone heavier for my previous 10k), but felt that I had more to give in the section between 5k and 8k. i was slowed down by the wind and from making sure I had some oommph left for the hill, which wasn't as bad as I feared. Very friendly race, loved it. Thorney Running Club, Thorney RC 48:22 52:10 53:00 52:10 53.35

No.8 ™ PB'd by 1 minute despite really strong winds. Set off at 5:45 pace, aiming for sub 36 and everything was cool for the first 5k. Drafted a few people and picked people off until the headwind struck. Tailed a couple of runners from 5k to 6k and then dropped them to make ground on a pack of 6 in front. Used the 6, that soon became 4 for the next 2km, sheltering from the wind and Unaffiliated 34:19 36:49 36:00 36:49 72.66
Number 6 Unaffiliated 42:52 42:52 46:14 62.67
Old Man Frizzle wants to run a PB (51.54) but it will depend on conditions on the day (wind, ice etc). The course is certainly capable of a PB (I measured it!!) but we will just have to see on the morning!! Thomas Cook RRC, Werrington Joggers 48:27 55:51 51:30 57:05 50.35
Paulie Pleasant race around the fens, although running the seventh and eighth kilometers into the wind made it tough going. Trail Running Association, LDWA 40:48 43:18 43:00 43:18 65.31
PlodderRW Woke up after a shite nights sleep feeling pants with swollen glands and decided to give this a miss. Good start to marathon training more important to me at the mo so tried a gentle run the next day instead. Unaffiliated 46:53 46:53
