RunningDad Until that blasted hill at mile 9, I was on for 85 minutes. The hill just sucked all the energy out of my legs and I struggled home after that. Guess I need some more hill reps before next year. Great race though, particularly well organised. Valley Striders AC 1:20:28 1:29:34 1:28:00 1:29:34 65.91
Lincsfella What a great day, not a PB was never gonna be on this course but nearly 7 minutes off last years time so very pleased. UKnetrunner 1:28:14 1:30:06 1:35:00 1:33:54 63.25

task pleased with my time,over a minute quicker than last year. White City (Hull) RRC 1:42:04 1:42:04 1:44:00 1:44:22 56.28
Trenchfoot Slow start and congested 1st few miles , just didnt seem to have the will to push myself and maintain the hoped for  pace , probably combination of the heat and feeling low due to issues with work.  After half way point treated it more as a long training run rather than a race.  Pulled up (boiled up) and walked a short distance very near the finish and yet managed a good strong sprint finish  ..... Enjoyed it though - sorry if you bet on me it.  Must lose some weight and get more long runs in before the next race.   834/1445 overall , 690/1052 male runners Unaffiliated 1:47:42 2:03:08 1:45:00 2:03:08 51.42
Scott S Slight worse than last year :)
Hill at 9 miles cost me time again - still having problems with these things.
Congested start meant I was running at an average pace of 8:30 min/mile.
Walked through a couple of water stations as awkward drinking from cups.
Hit just over 5 min/mile pace over the last few hundred metres too - never ran that fast before! Unaffiliated 1:41:19 1:41:19 1:45:00 1:51:23 52.52

Big M Sorry if you bet on me - the wheels came off after the first 8 miles, hill at 9 miles was a stinger, then I hit a wall (well more of a bridge) at 11 and felt like I was dying for last 2 miles. Nice bridge, a much tougher race than I'd expected. Pudsey Pacers RC 1:39:38 1:41:36 1:45:00 1:52:00 53.79

Cheeseman75 Amazing race. Brilliant weather and that killer hill around the 8 mile mark. Will definately be doing that race again Unaffiliated 1:37:28 1:41:17 1:55:00 1:50:19 52.56
Rosielad This will be my marker for improvement as it was first race I ever run last year. Hope course the same to check times. ** UPDATE** Had a bad race with all sorts going wrong and wanting to quit at 6 miles but carried on Just and PB though not by as much as I wanted...

Running Beard It was a little warm and wasn't that a Elvet Striders 1:40:38 1:48:54 2:00:00 1:54:00 55.07
DaveM1962 Took it steady due to past experience - but felt better than I thought. Could have pushed harder and got a pB! Selby Striders, UKnetrunner 1:50:42 1:50:42 2:00:00 1:58:37 52.93

forkhandles fairly undulating most of the time. the hill between mile 9 & 10 really hit home - seemed to go on for ages. fortunate with the wind direction on the whole (sheltered by the bridge on the way out and semi-tailwind on the run in). Struggled with stitches most of the way, and final 2 miles in particular. The starting position could have been better organised, but generally very well done - course well marked out and marshalled and water stations plentiful - just as well because it was warm.

DeeGee Did I say 2:10. I was meant to be trying to pace Hampton. I kept it steady, but lost him at mile 4.

To say 2:10 and get 2:10:03 despite the hills and heat has pleased me though. 100 Marathon Club, Cleethorpes AC 1:28:55 1:57:17 2:10:00 2:10:03 44.59
