EarlyRiser 22nd Jan. I've entered this against my better judgement. :-) Even so, I don't want to miss an opportunity this good (unless you're all lying about it being a flat fast course!) POST RACE: time estimate only, but will be another PB, if only by 20 seconds or so. Found I had the strength and endurance today, but not the basic speed over the last 5k to make the difference. But that's ok, I'm not in training for this distance yet. A very nice race! Well-organised and tasty cake. Good to see a few folk. Unaffiliated 1:33:37 1:33:37 1:33:00 1:33:37 68.81

Mylo Half marathon debut for me in preparation for FLM, aiming for a steady pace rather than flat out. Finished within 2 secs of my prediction - very happy with that and I would have thought I could go a fair bit quicker next year. Mid Essex Casuals 1:36:11 1:59:58 2:00:00 1:59:58 48.96

sonicp Cold has delayed training schedule by about a month. First time doing Gt Bentley. Cold day but light wind. Quicker than expected but pulled muscle in my left buttock! Hamstring too tight? Colchester Harriers AC 1:26:10 1:32:51 1:35:00 1:32:51 67.06

Ticker Official chip time 01:41:29. First 6 mile went like a dream, but I really had to push after mile 10, and the finish on grass made my tired legs feel even more sluggish. A PB of around 15 minutes can’t be bad! Great race and perfect conditions. Well done to everyone who was there. TENTATIVE Unaffiliated 1:35:04 1:40:26 1:43:00 1:41:29 60.34
Tom Tom Strange...I ran under the clock in 1.31.07, but they have my chip time as 1.31.10. Just sulking really, as I didn't manage a PB :P Brilliant race, though, and much better conditions than last year. Unfortunately, I got a stitch at 9 miles and never really clawed it back from there :( New 10 mile PB of 1.08.39 though, and I won county bronze in my age category, so not throwing too many dollies out of my pram ;) Apologies to those that bet on me, though. I tried!!*edit* Changed it to chip time, now official results are up ;) Unaffiliated 1:26:19 1:29:22 1:31:07 71.45

Vindicator A nice new PB, but mile 12 killed off a 1.31.xx time with a 7:15 mile and destroying any finish I could have mustered. I so would have liked to get the flat 7:00 mile. Next time, but it is going to hurt a lot! Harlow RC 1:28:30 1:30:12 1:33:00 1:32:08 63.27
