Edinburgh Marathon

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Were you wearing a pair of dark shorts (maybe blue), as I did pass someone rattling with a lot of change that I thought was rather peculiar, I thought that maybe it was for a taxi for later in the run!

[Deleted User] · June 2005

yeah black shorts, funny i did consider the taxi thing.

They had different coloured numbers, I finished just under 4 hours, and only noticed 3 pass me.

I doubt if any caught up with you at 3hrs 20mins!

Thank god for broadband, what did we do before that and the www?

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Cheers Bob,

My last 4 miles were a mare, all was passing......

Can anyone enlighten me with my exact finish time and placing please.

Number 1953 Ian Gray finished around 3:23:51. I got carted off by the first aid on the finish line as I only belonged to the knackers yard at that point.

Cheers

Happy Running.

Twiddled our thumbs impatiently until the postman delivered a set of results a few weeks after the race....then you felt disappointed that your actual time was 4 seconds slower than you had expected from your watch??!! ;-(

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Thanks Katypie

Boy, don't know hat to do, be happy with a pb or just wonder what could have been as I went through 21m in 2:35:21.

Cheers

Happy running.

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Katypie, funny you should mention Great2Run - I've been meaning to send my form off for weeks. What do you think of the course? Does it take as long to complete as it says on the website?

That was before the event, We have no idea what our times are.

Both myself and TMW had a great day, first Marathon and all. Just hope that we actually popped in around the 4 hours 15 mark.

Well done all!!!

Somebody mailed me but the mail is coming back undelivered so if you still need stuff looked up let me know

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Katypie - twas I that emailed you. I was trying to get my finishing time and position. My name is Paul MacKenzie-Cummins and I finished in around 4hrs 34mins - not a great time I know, but it was fun nonetheless. Thanks in advance.

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Hello and well done, everyone! I've just got back to Mallorca after a fabulous four days in Edinburgh. Good to meet you, Katypie. You did a brilliant time. I saw you again later in the race. You must have kept up a good pace. I've just seen my time on the Internet: 4hrs 4mins 34 secs. I was pleased, but I had loads of energy left at the end so wonder what I COULD have done. I don't regret a thing, though, because I thoroughly enjoyed the course, the sunshine, the rain, the people ... still totally buzzing, as you can tell. I went to the Standing Order, but got there about 7pm and consumed a huge roast dinner and a fair amount of 'vino'! I didn't get hold of any newspapers. Is it worth ordering a back edition for the pull-out on the marathon? I've heard mixed reports.

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Paul

4.34.30! Sorry about that I was getting undeiverable message?

Jo - personally I wouldn't bother with the ET but is your call. It might be nice to have it in print?

It was nice to meet you to. Glad you got home okay.

[Deleted User] · June 2005

Just thought i would pop in to say had a really good time on Sunday (even with the struggle after 20 miles). The atmosphere was excellent. Think my time was around 4 hours 30mins, not too bothered it was the taking part that was the main thing. Found the standing order but unfortunately didn't get there till monday! Got the bug big time, will definately run another one. My legs may have got a little slower after finishing but my mouth was in overdrive, that was a big buzz, love Edinburgh as well. Cheers for all the advice i got on here.
