Rhino Not enough food and fluid over the 24hrs before made me feel like i couldn't go on by mile 3, could i make it to the 1st water station at mile 5 - yes! and then things just got better, ate some of my wine gums, drank plenty, fab run and fab support all around the course. Trail Running Association 1:44:00 2:05:05 2:05:05 51.55
Fat Man Runs I was hoping for two hours but so many factors made this impossible - the heat, trying to get round other runners and being held up twice to let ambulances go past. It was astonishing how so many people were dropping like flies, one guy collapsed in front of me with 200 metres to go - the only surprise is that only four died. I only hope those that did suffer are on the road to recovery soon. The support was fantastic though and the feeling going over the Tyne bridge with the Red Arrows doing a fly past just made my day.

GAZGIB The heat took everyone by surprise, my friend and I were both over ten minutes off our best. I saw seven people collapsed at the side of the road, 3 of those unconcious , sadly four men died. Bracknell Forest Runners 1:35:38 1:37:41 1:48:51 53.42

Dannyboy01 What a scorcher, I've now got a nice white vest mark! Would have liked to have gone a bit faster but am happy with getting under two hours (just) for the first time on this course. All in all a cracking day out and loads of ale in Newcastle on Sunday night! Chorley Athletics and Triathlon Club 1:16:58 1:47:07 1:59:53 48.36
Hendo Had a nightmare - woke up feeling rotten and really shouldn't have run, but it's a long way to travel from Portsmouth just to turn round and go home. So set a personal worst by 35 minutes! Kind of enjoyed it in a twisted kind of way though... Unaffiliated 1:37:52 1:50:54 2:00:00 2:33:58 37.65

Greenstuff This was my first ever run since school. I ran with my brother bazza in aid of my daughters death on Aug 15th 2005. Very happy i finished it, love it will be doing losts more of them.. My thoughts to those who lost their life doing the run. love 2 all....... Unaffiliated 1:57:31 2:07:26 2:29:18 39.18

sanddancer Position 34167th. Chip timing so hopefully pretty accurate as compared with last year. If I'd realised I was so close to 3 hours I'd have maybe mustered a bit more to cross the line on the 'right' side of 3:00:00. Had difficulty with the heat. My pulse was racing away (170+) even by the time I got to the Tyne Bridge and I spent most of the rest of the race walking. The last three miles were hell! Never mind, that'll teach me to train! Back next year... I WILL BE QUICKER NEXT YEAR!!! Vale of Aylesbury AC 2:13:40 3:00:14 3:00:14 32.46

Badger Horrible running weather - warm, still and humid. My first half-marathon and I'd expected to get round faster than that but just couldn't turn it up; my running partner was expecting a pb and got a pw instead so it's not just me! FERC 1:39:51 2:25:53 2:25:53 40.99
makkem Nothing could have prepared me for that heat, considering the day before was showery. I know it might have been said before but this race is getting overcrowded. Barnet & District AC, Westbury Harriers 1:19:12 1:52:32 1:52:48 55.20
Jaggy Disaster from start to finish - found it difficult to get going and missed any water before 4.5 miles. Really struggled in the masses. Then ended up helping the girl running in front when she collapsed - 2 others had jumped over her! Unaffiliated 1:42:13 2:20:15 1:45:00 2:20:15 42.96
lambkin My first ever race! Started off far too fast but at least it got me out of the crowds quickly! A wicked day out, promised myself I'd never make myself run again at about mile 9, then promised myself I'd run a marathon about 45 mins later. A very well organised event but could have done with some water during the first, hot few miles. Unaffiliated 1:37:18 1:46:17 1:46:17 60.66
Vickyy It was boiling hot and there weren't enough drinks stations - hillier than I remembered and really crowded. Had to stop to go the loo - lost time (stopped watch whilst queuing) so I was actually running for 2 hours 7 mins despite official time. Need to do sub 2 hour next year Long Eaton Running Club 1:38:52 2:21:00 2:21:00 45.84

tramps Fantastic day, raised £5,000 for EACH (East Anglia's Children's Hospices). The race was a personal running disaster (cramps, dehydration & missed PB). After the race, these seem embarassingly insignificant compared to the tragic fatalities. GNR ......

Lisrun Very hot day. I probably started too quickly because I slowed down too much in the later stages. It was the fastest time I have done this event. Wonderful atmosphere. Goodies included tee shirt, medal, chocolate bar, energy bar, water, pasta, pasta sauce, sweeteners, muscle gel, pepperoni (!). Ran for Leukemia Research and died my hair yellow to match the tee shirt. Got my photo in Runners World ! Had a great start at the front, took about 15 seconds to get under the start line. Chip timing worked well. 100 Marathon Club, North East Marathon Club 1:42:36 1:48:04 1:50:41 60.83
