Thanks very much for dropping the race pack in last night. It was very kind of you.
Cheers.
Managed to write down my number today it's 528.
Good Luck everyone , hope 2 c u on Sunday.
Did you say your putting nicknames on backs?
Think I'd rather be anonymous as I will probably be really hanging out for the last couple of miles, & maybe the middle 4, & maybe even the first 2 !!
There was talk of putting nicknames on our backs for big meet ups at races, such as Brighton and other ones being arranged. I suppose since there are only a few of us at Kingston (by comparison) then I don't suppose we'd have much bother remembering who is who.

Oh by the way. I belive on the stuff you get with your number that we are entitled to a visit to a Holmes place of our choice. There is really nice one in the Bentalls Centre so if you ring and make an appointment it could be free shower/sauna/pool.
[for those who don't know, and are interested, Walk while you're Ahead means:
a. Set a realistic target pace with target times for each mile.
b. When you reach the mile marker ahead of the target, WALK until the time you should have reached the mile marker.
Results: always refreshed, less bored, you know you have something in reserve and you know you will hit your target time it you stick to the plan]
Hope everyone else had a good time and didn't get sick in the custard paste in the "godie bag".
hope you all got the time you were shooting for. Lots of distance combinations were run today and so we are still trying to sort out the " anomalies", where people started in one race and did another distance etc. Some told us, some didnt. We had people enter the 16 run the 8, enter the marathon and do 18 miles (1 small and 2 big laps) etc etc. At the moment the results are meaningless and it will take a bit of time to sort out so please be patient.
hope you enjoyed your day out in Kingston and hopefully we'll see you back on the 23rd of March for the adidas breakfast run. After a 4am start we need some sleep-John
Another great day, many thanks John. You do a grand job. Look forward to 23rd March 2003. Well organised, marshalled, and plenty to drink. Just one thing, what an earth was that custard thing-ie. I left mine for any takers.
Bumped into Snicks, Romford Runner and 'Jason'. How did you all do? I missed the rain - sorry.
See you at the Ball Buster - 8 mile run 24 mile bike 8 mile run, argh!
The rain held off long enough to complete the racing in comfort.
Sorry to hear of your discomfort Womble; you did the right thing by cutting out the second circuit.
Paul (Romford Runner) and I went round together, and finished in 2'17" 14sec, which was ahead of target, and accompanied Superdazza for a few miles.
Thanks to Jon and Caz for hanging on to support us as we came through the first circuit. How did you sprinters get on?
Big thanks to Snoop , probably would have tailed off . if we were'nt running together , smashed last yrs' time by over 4 mins.
Went home to watch Paula R , quality performance
I beat my target time, did 1:04:48 at the 8 mile mark and 1:06:20 at the finish. I averaged 8:10 min miles. I'm very pleased, I just need to up the pace for Brighton now.
Met Jon, Josie, Romford Runner, Jason L, Snoop and DavidP (I hope I haven't missed anyone). Well done to Josie who smashed her target time by 5 mins, well done Josie, the 4 day week plan is really paying off for you. And well done to Jon (the sprinter) who legged it the whole way round!
I didn't see you Snicks, I didn't realise you were running it either, no doubt you did a very good time.
I really enjoyed the course and am looking forward to doing this again in March.
Finished the 16 in 2:27. I am very pleased.
First 8 1:13, second 8 1:14. If it wasn't for a call of nature on the second lap I'd have finished must faster!
Jon/Caz thanks for the support after the first lap.
Well done everyone else on your times.
Hope to see some of you next week at the Cabbage Patch 10!
Jason L
P.S.
Was it just me, or did anyone else find the Blackcurrent Gatoraid disgusting?
We are still ploughing through the results trying to put them into some sort of sense.
We have them in time order, however, before we put them up on the web we would you to verify them.
If you would like your own copy of the results on an Excl file to check that the info we have for you is correct, then please email me privately at: results@humanrace.co.uk
