No.8 ™ Great evening, good to see all other Fetchites, Blue Wombat, KatieB, Slow & Hobbes, MRF, Lums, Diva and families.

Got my first 5k out of the way and boy do they hurt. Pleased with the time although desparately wanted about 6 seconds quicker, but nevertheless a corker.  First 1k as too quick, suffered a bit in the middle, but managed to find something for a Unaffiliated 17:11 17:54 17:54 72.95
Mr BDR A great race and a new PB!!!

BlueWombat Really enjoyed this, apart from the last 2 km!  Good to see KatieB, Lums, VIII, Diva and Slowgoing at this FetchFest. Gave the run everything I could and came in faster than I expected. Cambridge & Coleridge AC, Cambridge University Hare & Hounds 20:21 21:13 21:13 65.22
KatieB Felt very hard work, tried hard to keep mile splits sub 7 and managed it. Horrible stitch at 3-4k and then just hung on to GettingThere all the way home. Great to see the 8s, Lums and mrs Lums and minilums, the Hobbes and the Divas. Blue Wombat went zipping past me in the first k too. :-) Also brief chat with the MRF's and Brooks.

Lumsdoni Training going very well, hoping for a big PB here, be very dissappointed otherwise. I've bet on myself, so you should too!

Come on!  Totally exhausting in the heat, but spurred on by other fetchites, a stonking provisional time of 22:50!

Apologies to the two guys I clattered through in a unco-ordinated  sprint for the line!  Absoluely over the moon with the time!

Was made all the better for seeing the other Fetchites there, VIII, BlueWombat, KatieB, Slow Going, et al.  Great atmosphere and well organised. Will definately do next year. Stotfold Runners 22:39 22:50 24:59 22:50 56.34
starfleet1985 Nice run Unaffiliated 24:29 25:03 30:00 25:03
BDR Must beat 28.10 - my time from last years race!
