I recommend the city centre car parks and do advise getting there as early as you can. St David's shopping centre car park is one of the largest and is open 24 hours. The charges are listed on St David's website. Other car parks can be found on NCP Cardiff's website.
I only live in Penarth, so, like yer_maj, I'll either be cycling or wallking across the barrage to the start as a warmup.
Did this race 5 years ago so just looking to get close to this time as not done very much proper training (2.05 ish).
Might tag along to the 2.00 pacer and see if I can last
Good luck everyone
Thanks for advice guys, my intention will be to arrive around 7.30ish I think but I will still go for one of the central car parks and make sure that I give myself plenty of time to wander to the start, find lockers and be ready for 9am.
Good luck to everyone!

Looking forward to this event. Did Henley half last weekend and felt good, so ready for Cardiff!!
Godd luck and enjoy to all those running
Sorry Nicola - yesterday was my mischievous day - just ask those I work with!! Good luck with your running.
Looking forward to this now. Only booked a hotel last night - Mr Disorganised or what? My last "big" race of 2011 before a period of hard training (hopefully).
Hi good luck all for sunday...........i will be interested to see what everyone makes of the new route............
I haven't done a cardiff race for a few years......( apart from the brilliant park runs) as the 10k and half I did there were all messed up by the organisers ............I hope things have improved and you have a great day and shiny new PB's
Hi Andy
Must be getting excited! Good luck for Sunday !
I did this last year and really enjoyed it, although Im kinda dreading it this year, not done half as mucj training as I should have, hoping the adrenalin will kick in on the day!
Good luck to everyone
Well that's all the prep done before the big day. I had my last trot around the park this morning. Looking forward to being the tourist tomorrow. Anyone know of a good Italian restaurant in Cardiff - for the pre-race day pasta?
Good luck everyone!
Never been to Cardiff, so looking forward to visit the city, good luck everyone this Sunday!
Best pasta is round the corner from my house. Cibo in Pontcanna Street, CF11
They also have a smaller place in Church Street in the city centre called Citta
Morning all
Looking forward to tomorrow now...have a bit of a cold but should be okay to run! Stillnot decided where to aim for parking, but will try to leave Swansae by 6.30am!
Good luck everyone, enjoy the day!
Looking forward to tomorrow. Feeling a lot calmer than before my previous half marathons although I'm sure that won't be the case tomorrow morning. Just had my pasta and about to get everything sorted as I'm off out for a couple of hours (not drinking obviously!).
Good luck to everyone tomorrow.
Have a great morning everyone! Think of the afternoon,basking in the glory!
RaceAhead: Well done Stephen for completing the Lloyds TSB Cardiff Half Marathon 2011. Gun Time 01:46:47, Chip Time 01:44:54. Congratulations!
I enjoyed the race, bit congested at the start and had difficulty getting to my starting pen, but still a good race. Well done to all the runners and a big thank you to all the marshals and helpers.
Enjoyed my run today although the dual carraigeway stretch was hard going. I managed to keep a good pace all the way round and finished 7 minds quicker than at Henley last Sunday - chip time this week was 2:17:11.
Great medal.
Official time 2 hours, 3 minutes, 8 seconds. Beat my PB by 6 minutes 27 seconds. Maybe sub 2 hours isn't impossible for me as I felt reasonably good today. Really enjoyed the race and liked the route although the dual carraigeway was hard going. Will definitely be back again next year!
Dual carriageway section was very unenjoyable. Girl passed out at 12.5k didn't help either!
Overall a great first HM experience though
did you run henley in reading kit last week? i was in a toilet queue for ages with a guy in reading kit in front of me
Glad to get round in the end. The sun was killing me.
Quite a few runners seemed to have suffered towards the end. I wasn't very steady on my feet after I crossed the line myself.
I wonder if it is still going to keep it's reputation as a PB race. The dual carriageway was difficult.
Congratulations to everyone who managed to complete.
Hi Jimmy - yeah that was me. I was one of the last to arrive at the Henley start lne due to that queue!!
How did you get on yesterday?
