The alarm on mine used to go off at 7pm every evening....never could stop it!!
I have a RW watch alarm going off at 5.30 every morning. It's in a drawer somewhere in the bedroom but I still hear it and of course, by the morning (having gone back to sleep in the meantime) I forget all about sorting and so it goes on...
In fact, where is that bloody watch, I'm going to sort it now, while I remember...
By the way, glad everyone else thinks this was a good race. Come on Hugh - we know you read the forum. What chance of a re-run next year?
I saw you guys, wasn't sure at first because of no banner but recognised the vests!!!
Boyf, sprog and I were standing near you but I was too shy to say hi and then just as I was about to come over everyone got up and started to leave, felt a little silly so I did likewise!
Tara - I know the feeling! It's the perrenial forumite dilemma - do you go up to a total stranger and say, hello, I'm meerkat...at least you'll know us for next time.
My hair is twice as long as the pic and I'm normally very red faced when running!
It was nice to meet a few people indirectly off the forum. Nice to hear people beating their timings. Great run, Lovely scenery, very hilly and so much fun. Very well organised run and well done to those who provided the bus service. Without it don't know how or what i'd have done.
Lovely, smiling, marchalls, and what an honour to be started off by Sir Roger Bannister with the words "Try and enjoy the view" and "There's a big hill at mile 3" LOL!
It was a pretty low key race compared to the Nike 10k last year. No chip timing, t-shirts with numbers, warm up, big screens or upbeat music etc.
However, I enjoyed this one equally much.
This race was about respect of the park, it's inhabitants and the nature.
I usually train at RP and I really appreciate the wildlife, the nature and the scenery. Isabella Plantation is one of my favourites.
I hope the charity has raised good amount for a very worthy cause. The view from Richmond Hill over the valley is stunning.
Well done Hugo Brasher and Sweatshop for honouring the memory of your father and founder!
There is not one of me but thought you would all like to know they are now online.
Hope to meet you guys at RP, training for future races....
Enjoy!

People! You have to practice this more on your training runs, it's very important. At the end of your run raise your hands for victory. If any bystander is concerned, tell him/her: Hey, I just won the FLM!
I found the race really enjoyable it was just that I started late, had a lot of catching up to do and I started sprinting too early on! I'm still a bit new to running, only been doing it for a few months, 10k is STILL really quite far for ME! :oD
(says she after recently signing up for great south run! - D'uhhhh)
