Agent Orange Agent Orange It was dry till we set off. But then we had steady and heavy rain. It was a great run despite the weather with some good encouragement in the crowds. Pity that the rain meant you couldn't enjoy the views. Report - the first couple of hundred metres were a bit crowded but the race opened up then. Ran 7.28 for the first mile. Steadied a bit in mile 2, running 7.39. Then down again to 7.21 in the third mile. Fourth mile had a bit of an incline and I did 7.36. But then we ran back down the hill and I got lots of encouragement from other Fetchies which helped me to a 7.26 - half way in exactly 37.30 mins. Carried the good form into mile 6 (7.23). Even passed the 10km mark in better than my 10km personal best! It was getting a bit harder by now but I was keeping going, managing the seventh mile in 7.43 and the eighth in 7.59. Mile 9 and 10 were along the sea front into rain and wind. Seemed to get overtaken by quite a number of more aerodynamic runners but had my head down! Mile 9 was 8.05 then into the last mile and a final effort. Managed 7.39 for an overall time of 1 hour 16 mins 19 secs. According to the Great Run website, I finihsed 1267th!! Met Gobi, Rach E, HOD, RGP, Blister, Konaboy, most of whom seemed to have met or exceeded expectations.

AngelWings AngelWings Cant believe still that I actually did it - let alone in such a fab time! Very pleased - and a big thank you to all the spectators and the Cancer Research team who just kept cheering us on despite the horrible rain! :-) See you next year?! ****************************************** My first long race, and also first race on the road. This was my goal for this year, and I shall be pleased with myself just for getting round and finishing. Not bad for someone who couldnt run more than 2 minutes (literally) in April 06! Secretly I want a 1.45 time but whatever I get its going to be a PB!

B B Ran this just cos I'd entered and wasn't up for a race having had to pull out of Amsterdam marathon with a pretty bad stomach upset 7 days easlier. Pretty happy with my run in all. Suffered with the cold in the last 2 miles when I was extremely wet and lashed by the icy wind coming off the sea. 1:10:00 1:10:00 1:10:00 69.75

Blister Blister Had a fantastic race, great meeting loads of new Fetchies, shame the weather was so bad at the start and finish but it did make good running conditions for me. I started near the front with Rach E, it took only about 10 seconds to cross the start line but we were still dodging slower runners we stayed together for about the first mile then Rach told me to push on. The first mile felt very comfortable in 6:41 by now we were more spread out so there was room to overtake, etc. Got to 5K in 20:48 so pretty much on target I saw Hailey Yelling fly past as I approached 4 miles. Got to 10K in 41:17, my second fastest ever 10K time! Saw RGP and his wife just after which was a good moral boast. I found mile 7-8 mentaly quit tough then 8-10 physically quit tough because of the strong wind. Joined a group of 3 other men at about 8 miles and stuck with them, one of the guys pushed on at about 9 miles and I stuck with him, 800m to go and I lost him. Really pushed it from here and managed a 6:24 last mile. One of my highlights was at about 100 meters to go the commentator announced that we were elite(!!!) runners and got the crowds to make loads of noise as I approached the finish line, which felt good. Splits were: 6.41, 6.48, 6.36, 6.39, 6.36, 6.35, 6.43, 6.51, 6.57, 6.21. I finished 227th out of 10204 finishers. 1:02:45 1:06:47 1:10:00 1:06:47 64.84

Cormorant Cormorant My first ten-miler, so a PB and I liked the race, if anything, more than the GNR, despite the steady rain - a more interesting route, flat, and not so congested. The last mile along the sea was expectedly hard. Bit disconcerted to get a text message afterwards saying the official time was six minutes slower than I'd clocked it, then a second correct message an hour later. Did this happen to anyone else? It took us two hours inching out of Portsmouth afterwards. Did this too happen to anyone else? 1:15:16 1:15:16 1:20:00 1:15:16 64.23

Diogenes Diogenes Pleased and disappointed at the same time. Injury didn't trouble me and lack of training wasn't noticed. Took it easy to make sure I didn't fade at the end or aggravate my calf but afterwards was rueing a missed pb opportunity. I was having an internal argument all the way round with half of me wanting to speed up and the other half saying go steady, don't blow up. I think I judged it pretty well in the end. The strange thing is, normally over longer distances it's my knees that start to give me gip whereas they didn't at all on this one, maybe because I was focusing on my calf so much or because the recent rest had done them good? Like most people, I hit a mini-wall at mile 7, but recovered well. 10.37 9.57 9.10 9.20 9.10 9.09 9.10 9.29 9.11 8.32

Actually enjoyed the run even though it was wet, didnt feel cold during the run and the wind wasnt as bad as it could have been, RP pushed me at the end when I would have given up, thanks everso. A new blister has arrived on the bottom of my foot, time for new shoes I think. Well done to all those who braved the weather today and the supporters.

eMpTy eMpTy This was a family run for me as my youngest joined me, running his first 10 miler on his 16th birthday. In third wave which meant runing through lots of people and the weather before the start wasn't nice but once running it was OK. Pacing Darrell round was a pleasure as he seemed to find it relatively easy and we aere able to complete in amuch faster time than expected. I could be in trouble if he ever trains for running rather than football !! 1:10:55 1:12:08 1:30:00 1:18:10 61.85

gray gray This was a good race with a friendly atmosphere - I like running in places that mean something to me - great jogging past the Victory. Found the walk back to the car even harder than the race because the rain off the sea was more or less parallel to the ground by then.

Hendo Hendo Always a pleasure to run a race on my home turf, and it was great to meet so many Fetchies before (and after) the race. Looking at my splits it seems I lost 25 seconds on my pace in the 7th mile which meant the elusive sub-80 remains elusive, i'll put it down to the wind on that section. Weather wasn't great but it could have been much worse if the wind hadn't been southerly.

Hills of Death (HOD) Hills of Death (HOD) Met loads of fetchies very windy and raining legs still a bit stiff. Lined up with Hendo and his pals lost him in the crowd after 30 secs. Wasn't that pleased with time even though it was a PB. I could go under 1.20 on this. 8mm through out more or less. Crowds were massive. Well done all those that PBd. Especially that Man Machine Gobi. 1:12:57 1:20:22 1:25:00 1:22:01 53.37

KinkyS KinkyS Had no idea what to expect for this and was starting in the final wave, so had no great expectations. The weather was wet but nowhere near as windy as I had feared, and not cold either. Got close to the front of the green wave and then panicked and ran the first mile far too quickly, but after that settled into a nice comfortable pace and just enjoyed myself without pushing too hard until the last 800m when I kicked on just because it felt good. Got boxed in a lot once I hit the back of the previous wave and did an awful lot of weaving and dodging, so almost certainly could have gone faster with a clearer run, but I didn't enter for that, I entered to enjoy the experience of a big race, and I had a really good time :-) I think I'll be back next year... 1:10:28 1:18:55 1:18:55 59.82

Konaboy Konaboy Didn't expect to finish this one - Experienced PF heel pain from the off but fortunately seemed to get used to it or through it after 4miles. Got more comfortable as the race went on until last 3Ks returning along the seafront due to the oncoming 'breeze'. Will return for this one as its definte PB course but must start closer to the start of the wave (as I was literally at the back of the orange section). Great to meet loads of other Fetchies in the pub after the race & to hear about all the new shiny PBs. 1:14:07 1:17:04 1:15:00 1:21:07 55.33

LordWotsit LordWotsit This will be the longest I have run and just want to make it round.**UPDATE** What a day, I really enjoyed it. The 1st mile was slow due to volume of people 10:30ish the 2nd was 10ish and the third 9:30ish. Did ALOT of weaving to get past people and felt comfortable until the last 2 miles, didn't feel bad then exactly but started to push a bit from 2 miles out and more from a mile out so when I got to the finish line I was glad I was there. But EXTREMELY pleased with my time as that was the furthest I had run.

Rach E Rach E Predicted time adjusted. No running in recent weeks and very little throughout the whole year due to injury means I can't possibly expect a PB on this occasion. Don't bet on me. ***UPDATE*** No running of any real description for two months so I promised myself I'd take it easy to avoid injury. Ran with Blister for the first mile and then encouraged him to go on ahead. I felt I was running very easy - chatting to other runners, clapping the bands and was really enjoying the race. Next thing I knew I'd smashed my 10k pb when I got to the 10k marker. I really started to feel it through lack of training in the 7th mile and the wind was just awful, but I was stunned to gain a new pb and 576th place:-) :-) My most enjoyable race to date and if I'd been able to train and pushed, who knows...? Happy Rach. Nice to meet other fetchers both at the Great South and at Abingdon afterwards. I have already booked the Hotel Ibis in Portsmouth for next year :-) 1:00:24 1:11:05 1:15:00 1:11:05 66.41

Sid Sid Decided at the start of this race that it wasn't going to be a race for me - just a 10 mile jog in the rain! I strapped my knee and thought I'd take it nice an easy (9/10 minute miles) and just finish it. If not, I was happy to walk the course (good job I was in the green wave). My knee was extremely painful at times but each time I felt the pain, I stopped and did some stretches and was able to carry on! When I saw that finish line, I realised that I had achieved my target - to finish the race and within my target time. Fantastic - what a good day!!! 1:11:42 1:30:00 1:30:00 53.96

StringSideUp StringSideUp Only other 10 miler was hilly, windy cross-country one week after the Windsor Half. So would hope to do a bit better, at least back to my usual 10-min-mile plod. - update: Hard going in the rain and crowds but knees held up and legs, though quite knackered too soon, didn't get too much worse. Best thing was meeting another Fetchie-- Footpad-- within first mile, finding we were both aiming for 1:40 (well, I secretly hoped for even a bit faster but didn't really expect it), and we ended up running it together and somehow kept each other on pace. A good outcome. What was surprising was how much I really didn't mind running in the rain, which I've scrupulously avoid up til now. Even missed it when it nearly stopped around mile 7 and I started feeling too hot!

This time its for real! This time its for real! Bit fed up I didn't manage to break 2 hours but considering the weather! Started off really well then died between 7 & 8 - just about managed to pick it up going back along the seafront. Great fun & the rain wasn't so bad when you were running - just waiting about before & after.

TomM TomM Attrocious weather. but great support all the way round. I loved the Bands on the Run. Not a bad run, but a bvit slower than I'd hoped for (unscheduled pit stop by HMS Warrior!). Thwe only real problem was getting out of the car park on Southsea Common - nearly two hours to escape! 1:32:16 1:39:26 1:39:26 50.80
topcorner topcorner That was a brilliant race! So so wet (even before the start). Did my first 10 miler in just over 90. I ran with Tamsy for the first 4 miles which was way slower than my comfy pace. I kicked on after that and absolutely flew round, so much energy. I was passing people all the way. Big sprint finish which I really enjoyed. A slow start coupled with a congested field means that next time I should be able to smash my sub 90 goal! Really cool to meet so many Fetchies and sink a few pints with them... 1:31:02 1:31:02 1:35:00 1:31:02 47.51
