abdou Watch time. Gun time likely to be much worse as was still in the baggage tent when the hooter went. But still a PB, and felt great all the way, so very pleased. Unaffiliated 1:22:44 1:27:14 1:29:00 1:27:14 66.93

Ginger Chicken I had a bit of a cold so I didn't go as fast as I had wanted to. But I got a PB, came in under my predicted time so I can't complain. Really happy I'm currently lying in bed and not at work - hurrah for annual leave. Canterbury Harriers 1:31:46 1:34:36 1:37:00 1:36:07 60.75

ninjaman As the chip times were screwed this is a pretty good approximation. I ran with a club colleague for the first 8 1/2 miles at pretty much 6.50 pace. Thought the 1 1/2 hr was on tso dug in and managed to break it comfortably in something like 1:29:16. Very, veyr pleased if very, very tied - and I knacked my toenails.

Rapid Snail First time for me in Paddock Wood. PB will depend on endurance and whether lack of over distance long runs costs me...and whether the train gets me there in time. Splits: 7.34, 7.32, 7.25, 7.44, 7.31, 7.33, 7.38, 7.31,7.41, 7.34, 7.36 7.15,7.08, 0.56 (6.09 mm). Unaffiliated 1:38:33 1:38:33 1:38:15 1:38:33 59.95

sallykate Would love to get under 2.30 this time & hoping to keep to 11 minute miling. It all went pear-shaped about 10 miles in! Pleased with my time anyway - it's still a PB - but shame I've lost points for all those who bet on me! Must do better next time.... FERC 2:19:04 2:22:35 2:25:00 2:27:24 45.76

ugly If my calf injury is up to it i will enter this. Have entered,not planning on doing it all out not run for 3+weeks still pretty fit though! Looking forward to run again. Bottom line is i'm injured,calf went at 4-5miles,managed to get home in reasonable time though very sore calf. On a positive note,first few miles at 7min miling which were easy and passed Stephen like he was standing still.soi'm doing something right as this was my first run for almost 4 weeks!!! new eltham joggers 1:19:13 1:32:44 1:40:00 1:35:06 67.34
Ultra Kanga Kazzaaaaah!! Too slow and fat to pb. Will be happy to be faster than Brentwood altho' if it's windy that might not happen. 100 Marathon Club 1:49:17 1:53:09 1:53:00 0.00

Yoho Ahoy Not quite sure what happened there, way off personal best set on a much more hilly course. Apologies to those who placed bets - honestly expected to do much better. Educated guess suggests that doing barely any running at all in March probably not best preparation. Apart from mammoth disappointment at sickeningly poor performance had a good day, weather just about held out and very well marshalled, organised. Intend to be back next year, and be quicker.
