I saw AL looking very comfortable at about 7k - he was well on the home leg - i was still going out!!! Hopefully he made his time. I hung around after finishing, but it was crowded and noisy - Al, if you see this, sorry I could'nt find you.
Later everyone

AW Spartak......you did well so don't be too hard on yourself and as you said you must have given it your best shot if your feeling whacked ...........you will easy do it next time I have great faith that you can and will...Shame you didn't get to meet our AF........ for that post race "coffee"
Yes please Ian! One of my favourites.
LLB - I can't do it! It was Robert Downey Jr - shirtless in Sherlock Holmes.
croutons?
Ian.....oooh yes please...love leek and potato.
No sign of AF yet I see...he is probably celebrating with a few drinkies somewhere.
Ahahahahaha!!!! I know what you mean mate - perhaps we should post a few hotties of our own to even things up a bit?
Edit: Coming to the end of my enforced week's break, will get started again on Tuesday - might leave the intervals for this week and go with some nice easy 5ks, with a longer run or two perhaps. And if my knee is still playing up, that's probably a sign that it's time for new shoes but I still don't think I've done anything like 500 miles on my current Asics Gel Pulse 2s that I got in July.
Also gonna get some free weights to put on my machine - my legs have outgrown its maximum setting, so for them to strengthen, I need more weight.
Spartak- I was keeping an eye out for you and am gutted that I missed you. When we turned back I was hoping to see you and shout Go Spartak Go & unfortunately at the end it was very difficult to track people down. I sadlay looked and failed.
Well my time was 45.09 and therefore am a little disappointed that I didn't break my PB of 45.02. HOWVEVER I have decided that as the Brighton 10k is an offically measured course that I did beat my PB for offical courses (if that makes sense!!).
Sparatk-It was increadibly warm and my 2nd half of the race was slower if I had kept up to speed on the 2nd half I was going to finish in the 43 minutes mark. Also time wise a lot of the people I spoke to were disappointed in their time. The conditions should have been perfect,but, I was slower when I had to slow down when people were slowing down in fornt of me and it was a fairlay narrow course with perhpas too many runners.
The other reason for the disappointing time was a the 7k mark was these lovelies in short skirts and boots and pom poms - it was rude not too have a look (must have cost me a minte of my time). So LLB is to blame!!!!
The final result is that I came 562/2678 so nearly the top 20% so happy with that.
Anyway I have had a drink as I took my step son out for a 5 mile bike ride just now & we stopped at a pub!!! So that's too legs of the Triathalon done now (I will have a swim in the bath later).
The spandex looks great, I think they'll be a nice addition to my metallic lycra collection, if I add a few Christmas lights I could replace the christmas tree! While speaking of Christmas trees I need to find that one that makes it's own fake snow that's just awesome and tacky.
I'm telling you all right now you're going to regret me singing at the party, I hope Smut can hold a tune better than me!
I've recorded the c2c Lou, so I'm hoping to see that later, also there is a new adventure show starting on bbc2 (I think) on thursday which I'm looking fwd to!
Well done to everyone who managed a run today, personally I only managed a gentle couple of miles walking with my best friend and his family at a national trust site in Newcastle but the scenery and day was beautiful, so was all good! .... And I may have recruited yet another person to do the mighty deerstalker with me, so that will be three of my friends doing it now
Spartak - sorry it wasn't the time you hoped for, these things happen to the best of us, sometimes it's just not our day.... There will be other races
AF nice time, conditions sound like perhaps too many runners and the CRAC Cheerleaders causing problems on the course, the original plan was for them only to distract the field NOT you and Spartak as well.. Lou we're going to work on your strategy for the next race that features some of the CRAC team, as cheer captain it's your responsibility to come with a new improved plan!
Have eaten and drunk far to much this weekend, going to be a big diet and exercise week ahead (assuming work doesn't become too demanding this week!)
Hope everyone is ok and had a great weekend, seems like the girls have spent all weekend looking for pictures of inferior male species to post on here, perhaps they're just trying to make us feel better about ourselves.
well done AF and spartak, jude is right, some days its just not meant to be no matter what we do....in fact i have the world record for having 'an off day'

Well done AF on your speedy time ....I know its not what you wanted( only by a few secs) but you should be well pleased with that time esp on a busy course..... tip for the bath swim- start at the bath end or you'll bang your head.......
