That initially climb onto the ridgeway is certainly interesting, especially for the people who were'nt expecting it.
One afterthought - did anyone else spot that a bunch of the mile markers were about half a mile too early? They seemed to even themselves out by the end, but I'm sure around 17/18/19/20 they kept popping up too soon...
Couple of things:-
1: There doesn't appear to be a full list of all results: only individual results on nmae/bib. Don't know about others but I like to view a full list to see how my time/placing fits in context
2: I reckon quite a few signs were early - a little in the first half but more so as Ulen says.
I have that down as pretty demanding!
I'd never run in Tenby before, really enjoyed this one!!
Going by my Garmin (I know....) mile 2 marker was a little short (0.85) and then they were consistent-ish until the 14 mile split which was only about half a mile further down than 13, so the later mile markers were co-inciding with about a .5 of a mile on my Garmin. I wasn't paying very close attention to the latter stages but I had a little over 26.2 showing at the finish.
I can guarantee that the actually course distance was correct as it has been officially measured before-hand for people who needed to use their time.
I do agree that some of the markers during the dark side of the marathon seemed abit off, at one point I don't even remember seeing them for a few miles.
I had exactly the same as you with the mile 2 marker short. Started wondering if I took a shortcut, but rectified itself later on down the race, finishing with a tad over 26.2 at the end - the sort of accuracy expected.
I was taking my split times based on the milemarkers. Thats the second race in a row I had a dodgy mile marker. Think I will go back to having Garmin auto record laps based on GPS miles.
Huge thanks to all the supporters along the route, they really made it such fun!
What is the link for the results page please?
Seems like it is not on the new web page for the marathon. Can be found on Power of 10 site:
