Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Doing this at marathon pace - Start is a real bundle with slower people inc walkers right up the front! Parked cars! Made me a bit irritated to say the least, even though this is the 3rd time of taking part I am not sure that there is much to like about this run other than the finish area, the route is boring, not too undulating so that is a plus, fair amount of water stations that were much needed in the heat so a thumbs up for that too :) Did the first 6 miles faster than marathon pace as I was tempted to try for a PB however the severe stitch during mile 7 and 2 enforced stops to try to stretch it out put paid to that idea :( During this time another lady from my category came storming past me, the stitch was to uncomfortable for me to be able to respond. I stopped at 2 water stations as I wanted to be sure I kept hydrated. Had a blast in the final mile and finished in1:39:07 which was on target. I was very surprised to finish 1st in category (£25), seems the other lady was a late entry so didn't qualify for prize, on being presented with my prize everyone sang Happy Birthday LOL :) lovely to see Fetchies (too many to mention) and lovely of Jobe to great me with hugs & birthday wishes as we arrived :) Unaffiliated 1:31:50 1:35:16 1:40:00 1:39:07 79.22

Slider45 Looking forward to the race. Very hot last year so unless the weather changes, fancy that a cooler day may improve time. Would love to pb but it's a challenge as by best was on the flatter Brass Monkey course. Still, in pretty good shape so you never know... UPDATE. Pretty happy with run/time. Not particularly close to pb but ran well, held my position and gained a couple of places at the end. Slowed from 9m due to the undulations but overall a 20s improvement on last year.

Craggy Been injured hence my slowest half since 1996. Wouldn't have run a half just yet but this was my 20th consecutive Newark half marathon so didn't want to miss it. Superb organisation as always. Skegness & District Running Club 1:14:48 1:22:32 1:27:05 67.79

Hanvet Garmin time - serious backlog at the start meant it took a good minute to cross the line, and another minute to get started running. Nice run, shame my legs weren't up to it! Gainsborough & Morton Striders AC 1:43:54 2:07:30 2:12:56 48.82
