Impossible is Nothing Dreadful race (again - a few of these recently).  On reflection didn't take it seriously enough and didn't eat or drink properly beforehand, and have a cold developing.  Even with gels bonked from halfway really and last few miles a struggle.  Quite annoying.  Result 401st out of 10827 Westbury Harriers 1:22:25 1:24:42 1:28:37 66.62

MattTheRat Not a very impressive result. Training through the race, with only a mini-taper, but the lack of speed endurance told. Legs and feet really hurt after 10 miles which is unusal. Victoria Park Harriers & Tower Hamlets AC 1:19:59 1:19:59 1:19:29 1:24:21 73.82

Wirzel Predicting a conservative time, hopefully on the basis that I'll have something to spare at the end. Outcome: Crap, legs hit the wall again halfway round, either i've got a trapped nerve in my back again or i've just got a massive build up of lactic acid.

thelastdom Went to a pre race step aerobics class led by Mr Motivator wearing a nurse's uniform and thought 'NOW i have truly seen it all'.

Have missed nearly two weeks of training because of a knee injury and nearly pulled out because it satill wasn't right. Even lining up on the start about ten minutes from the off I nearly turned back to just watch because the knee was twinging. Instead I whacked my tunes on the iPod and did my usual long distance bopping warm up and decided just to trot round slow and easy and maybe duck out after about 6 miles of recovery pace.

After looking at my watch on about the two mile mark i realised I had paced it all wrong and gone off like the clappers so decided to maintain it and just go for it and crash out when the knee finally gave way. It hurt a bit going round but it wasn't anything i couldn't deal with and was chuffed silly with a great PB (even though all my mates teased me and said i was a conman since i'd been banging on about a knee injury all weekend and then put in my fastest half ever - but it really WAS hurting, mofos!!

Great race, really enjoyable course, totally smashing weekend. This is why i run :-) Clapham Chasers 1:32:12 1:32:12 1:39:00 1:32:12 62.88

Hedgie18 First ever half marathon! Was comfortable and at 1.40 pace until around mile 9. Then really struggled. Should have done the distance before the race in training. Was very happy to go under 1.45 though and set a really strong PB. Unaffiliated 1:32:55 1:44:38 1:50:00 1:44:38 55.41
Whoever Brilliant event, very well organised, good course for attempting PB. Over 16000 runners. Watch out for cobbles and a dirt track around the park, but otherwise grab a banana or gorilla costume and join in ! Northern Veterans AC 1:26:43 1:36:51 1:50:00 1:40:40 63.44

anitad Brilliant race  - really enjoyed it.  Much better prepared than Bath Half.  Still needed to walk during last couple of miles.  Think I started off too fast again (~ 10mins/mile) but this got me ahead of my predicted time.  Maybe if I started slower I'd be able to keep going longer? Or starting slowly means I'd be on my feet longer so better to run faster and finish quicker???  Didn't need the loo part way round either so food/drink routine better this time too.
Not so good having to get  back to College Green after race when finish is at Harbourside. TENTATIVE Bitton Road Runners 2:19:04 2:22:21 2:30:00 2:22:21 47.09
