Ooh it were cold today. Had a good run - knackered now though! Finished in around 2.24 so not too bad - how did you all do? I tried to pass an old chap right at the end but he was having none of it and decided to race me - I nearly died sprinting!
Said a quick hello to wicked witch after the hill at 10miles - hope you didn't mind me carrying on ww - I just had to keep going I really wanted to get it over with!
I saw Fat Face at the start but was too far away to say hello - you look kinda normal really!
I had on a lilac t-shirt over black tights and a pale blue hat on - just in case anyone thinks they saw me!
Well done everyone
bath time for tt

what?
Seriously... fantastic day out. Aside from freezing nearly to death, I had a fab time! Didn't manage to catch everyone at the start (Cougie & MTB) but was fab to see everyone ready and raring to go (just hope I feel as motivated for Liverpool). Waited around mile 10 in the freezing cold with the sun burning my retinas! The view from top of Simmons Hill was amazing - you could see the snow right across to the Welsh Hills - been a long time since I've seen that. Mile 10 the guys started piling past, thick and fast and I coud barely keep up... First came MTB who was so fast I didn't even see him! Then NRK came past and I nearly missed him (got the back of his sweater though). He was closely followed by Jakesy (who is injured I must add) and they were followed a few minutes later by Mustn't Grumble, Barbara and her 'pacer'. In quick succession then came Ratbag followed by Pink Minnie and bringing up the rear were Fat Face and Viking at which point the forumites received a wave (via phone) from Minkey.
Sorry but I didn't spot Cougie, Flatters, Lunacy, Will or Wicked Witch at all... mainly because after waiting so long I was frozen and if I'd had nads at that point they'd have been long gone! It really was great to see everyone - they all did really well and I was dead jealous.
I think I came in around 1:44 by my watch which I am pleased about. I was woried about my hips but they held out well. I think they must be getting more flexible.
Lots of squashed worms on the roads today!
Great to meet so many forum friends old and new. Cougie what happened to you? Hope your timing is better next week.
It seems that the majority (sorry FF) managed PB's.
A special well done to Barbara who knocked a whacking 10 mins off her's. I'll have a pint of what you were drinking last night Babs. Best of luck in the Iron Man next week - you are certifiably BONKERS
Pink Minnie- nice to meet you and minus 2 mins off PB so well done.
Flatters I saw you briefly at the start but didn't get much chance to chat. Didn't see you at all after that. Hope all went well.
Everyone one else (MTB panics about remebering everyone's name) well done and nice to meet you.
Also the supporters club aka Cath and DTS.
Cath I dont blame you for not getting my picture- the way I was going you would've needed a very fast film a masters degree in the art of panning! How'd your 8 miler go this afternoon?
I walked the dogs when I got home. I've had a nice hot bath and now I'm getting stuck into the Stellas. Mmmmmmmmmmm beer
better switch to wine after this one!
Don't say I didn't warn you
Apologies DtS and Suzie, thanks for your support as well! Thanks to Nicky for supplying the muffins, much appreciated.
