But you were nearly finished by then. Take a look at No 1122 - I, or rather my friend, looks completely knackered!
Chip times for the race have now been published on:
http://www.winningtimeuk.com/index.php?page=dbsearch
bah no pics of me unless i trawl through the misc folder
chip time same as my watch so i was one second slower than GNR
still managed my marathon yesterday in 4:45 so i'm happy with that
Keith...there's not even any of me in the misc folder...
Well done on your marathon time btw
My chip time has come in at 2:11:10...4 seconds quicker than my 'watch' time
jen - I could have some congenital facial disfigurement for all you know
.........but actually it's just a sign of how hard I was trying to look good for the crowd. Failed miserably on that one, didn't I?
chip time is 2:38:27, so 4 mins faster than the gun time, woo hoo!!! That'll probably be because my pal and I were so busy chatting we didn't even know we should have started running til some folk ran past us, hahahaha.
Well now i've got my time to beat next year, though i'm now doing at least one other half before the next GCR, so hopefully will defo be able to do this race in < 2:30. I know 8 mins less is a lot, but i'll have lost a lot more weight by then so will hopefully be more gazelle like, and thus I will run like the wind....is still head-on and at 30 knots.
Chip times will also be on www.thesandscentre.co.uk later today.
Sorry for the delay. Had a bad week due to my brother in law being hit by a stolen car. He is in intensive care at Whitehaven hospital and is still on a ventilator and seriosly ill.
Amazing how other things take priority.
Regards
Mike
Mike - Bugger chip times...gun times...race routes...or any of the other things in our lives that we attach so much importance to...but in the grand scheme of things...aren't really all that significant at all.
I'm so sorry to learn of your awful news and it goes without saying that my thoughts and wishes for a full recovery are with your brother in law and your family. We've so often talked about healing vibes on this thread but I can't think that they've ever been more needed than now!!
