See ya tomorrow!
good luck all.
I should really be getting an early night. Does watching Big Brother count as tapering?
That is brilliant. I bet you are now a happy bunny.
oh i am, can't wait!
It would be good to meet some other forumites, is there anywhere obvious we can all gather if we manage to get there early? I'm planning on being there around 8.30 as parking was a bit of a mare last year
I will be wearing all red, if you see a big guy puffing and panting away out the back gimme a cheer please.
Nice to meet you.
Boy was that hot. I am sure it was hotter than last year. I got a 8sec pb, which was also a course pb.
i got a course PB of 92:55, 4 mins better than last year, have to be happy with that.
really enjoyed it this time - the marshalls are superb, & i even got to swap my t shirt for a medium when they found a few hidden in a Large box.
like the design as well.
so i walked up that hill so shoot me!
Well marshalled and good race though.
Was it the heat that made it feel so hilly?
Almost four minutes worse than last year :-(
I blame the heat. I did Dorking at the beginning of June and that was roasting but this was worse. Slowed down badly in the last 4 miles.
Third year I've done this and I really like it. Very well organised.
The only downside was the engineering works on the railways, but there's not much that can be done about that.
I knew about that hill at 8 miles, as I did the race last year. I think I will always be walking up that hill LOL.

Congrulations on your course pb. Did you run the whole course? I hope you walked the 8 mile hill.
was thinking of you all today, twas a hot one indeed
well done all
That was a bad one- at least it was near the end though.
That is correct about mile 8 hill in to the park. I walked it all.
Yeah, that was the one! And I thought it was a killer precisely because it was near the end!

I know exactly what you mean- half a lap of a running track has never seemed so long.
I could see my splits getting worse and worse but couldn't do anything about it. I kept thinking I would push on at the next downhill and it never seemed to come.

Any idea how many ran?
