BlueWombat My third marathon in four weeks, and the 10th of the year. It shows. I need to train properly before the next one if I am to enjoy it. Cambridge & Coleridge AC, Cambridge University Hare & Hounds 3:28:13 4:12:40 4:37:13 47.09
Hollywoof! Why not? Race splits (half from Garmin, half from markers): 7:29 7:31 included a horrid railway footbridge 7:25 onto the river route now 7:35 7:35 looking for kingfishers, none found all day somewhere between 6:12 (bad Garmin) and 8:14 (bad mile marker) 7:27 7:34 7:31 onto a twisty loop of small paths in the Lea Country Park now - some problems with dogs 7:34 7:51 left ankle has started hurting - leftover from Clarendon 7:24 7:45 half mara was somewhere about 1:38 - my fastest half this year! 7:31 7:41 start of a very long stretch of river here? Some headwind but nowhere near as strong or cold as it has been in the last few days 7:31 7:45 7:44 lost time on these miles as I had my Garmin on Avg Pace rather than Lap Pace 7:53 perked up by the sight of pirates DTS and Hannabelle marshalling 7:59 lost time on these miles due to feeling knackered 8:13 legs have started to seize... 7:55 work out the time splits needed and thinking of Mr Minutes and School Runner 8:02 1 or 2 people overtake me - this is different to my recent maras... 8:07 quads tired, body tired, maintaining this pace is an effort 8:12 onto the big Hackney Marsh playing fields now - running round the footie pitches - there's a superbly cheerful marshall on the bridge here. 4:03 to the finish, but passed by two more people and couldn't respond... So... the finish line time is... 3:17:48 Definitely a PB, but I'm not sure it counts as sub-200... talking to Nokka after the race we both measured it (with normal GPS caveats) at maybe half a mile short... Pleased with the new PB, happy to have done a marathon where I've hurt a bit more - not annoyed that I did postive splits (would probably have been 1:38, 1:44?) - at least it shows I tried... I've entered this into the list as 3:21:40 to adjust for the dodgy length.... Unaffiliated 3:21:40 3:21:40 3:21:40 60.61

Tracey G I now have a sore throat. Hope it stay at just that. I would not bet on me. Harwich Runners 5:06:34 5:28:06 5:28:06 42.38
tramps Excellent trail race along the Lee Valley. Great organisation for a very good cause. Met the inspirational Fetch cover girl (PH) just before the start. Not sure if I'll run the Four2Go, but I'm pleased that I did this one. Saffron Striders RC 3:27:25 3:41:17 4:00:00 3:41:17 56.27
Ultra Kanga Kazzaaaaah!! Don't bet on me!!!! Don't ask why I've entered a marathon so soon after Beachy. This will be only my second 20+ mile run since FLM! Hippo and Tracey have a lot to answer for! 100 Marathon Club 4:06:30 4:14:07 4:14:07 55.60
