Anything other than foul play surely, so that doesn't really help does it - ie it would include heart attacks, heatstroke etc - all "natural causes"??
I tried to look out for green ribbons during the run but dodging loads of walkers and planning my next overtaking manoever was my main concern for most of the time (I squoze(?) through a few tiny gaps I'll tell you!!)
Got loads planned for the next few months. Last year I had nothing to aim for after the GNR and was on a real downer after feeling so great. Doing the Great Cumbrian half in Oct, the Leeds Abbey Dash and the Llandudno 10miles in Nov, a couple of 10km's in the blackburn area in Dec, the North West half and the Wilmslow half in early 2006 so that should keep me busy for a while!!
Oh, and I've entered the FLM and pre-registered for the next GNR!!!! I love this running malarky!!
Re non-finishers - I know at least one forumite finished the race but his chip didn't work, so he's down as a n/f
not that that would explain 12,000 missing people... but then I think many of those are non-starters as well as non-finishers
my flm entry going in the post soon!
thats a very full schedule you've got planned! i've got derwentwater 10 mile on 6th nov and brass monkey in jan. just hoping i can get rid of this achilles tendonitis so i can train properly. then i'll be really happy!
alison - LOL at your rhino run too, silly bu99er!
cant believe its still taking so long to catch up on all the posts 2 days after!
Jacks - you say maybe you're just not meant to be a runner - rubbish!!! did you enjoy your training (most the time)? do you feel better about yourself? then you're a runner. dont be hard on yourself and very well done xxx
i've found out my time and finishing position but how have people found out about their surnames etc???
thanks
Bradnor - Had a season ticket up til last xmas when I had to make a choice of going for a 10 mile run or going to the match and the run won!! I've been warned to stay away from the games now cos we have done so well since i stopped going....suits me - I get to do loads of training and City are going to win the league!!!!!!!
i coached a local side but same as you , much preferred to go for a run so gave it up! wot time did you do?
jenny - just put your surname in and no other details
Off now - will catch up again tomorrow night
:-) xx
i finished! :-)
ok, so it took me a long time 3:22:26 but i did it!
iv got the worlds biggest blister, 3 toes didnt come back to life until this morning, i had to shout at myself at 6 miles to convince myself i didnt have blisters, and as i went over the finish line i took my shoes off!
i really struggled in the first 2 miles but improved a bit after that (ok, only a bit but first 2 wher torture)
i saw a green ribbon on the floor at 11 miles and strangely it made me start running again!
i really did enjoy every second of it tho and cant wait to be back to beat my time.
people complaining about people lining up too near the front - i lined up right at the back but on the right hand side so probably started before some faster people on the left, sorry if i got in anyones way.
right, what next? :-)
dont worry about getting in peeps' way. its very well known that this is a crowded event and if peeps dont want to have to dodge around and get stuck then they shouldn't come to do it. just ignore anyone moaning!

the winners were well finished before lunch time when the sun came out,
it started off quite cool and got very warm by lunch time
us back of the pack people felt the warm tropical sun for about an hour or so at lunch time.
lots of people were diving for the showers
i cant believe there's still so much to catch up on, hope everyones aches are getting better today, i'm a bit worried about my ankle, i stood on a bottle twice with the same foot and my ankle is now swollen, have had probs with it before (got run over a few years ago!) hope it settles in the next few days.
there was some more info in the local news abouth the men who died for whoever was asking (sorry i cant remember RM maybe?) they had all trained for the run, it was one guys 24th GNR, such a shame. I've heard a lot of stories about the ambulance taking 45 mins to get to one of the guys, i did see ambulances trying to get through the crowd more than once, must be very difficult for them.
