I'm well made up, looking good for a flat one now at Blackpool. Bring it on... Lost it on the 11 mile hill... all fell apart... shame really.
Well done to the organisers, great run... cheers to everyone clapping and cheering, really helped at times...
Great race... see ya all next year ;-)
4-1 ;-)
When's your next race mate? I'm doing Sale 5 Miler next MOnday, Blackpool Half the week after... get your application in for Blackpool tonight mate!
very wet and the longest half I've ever done (nearly 14 mile once you include the "run/jog" from Greyhound Park to racecourse.
Did annoy me a little that they didn't make the decision earlier to not use the racecourse to park as forecast was bad all week, a note on the website or local press/radio could have been done because I'd have saved 35min and come up Sealand road from Queenferry rather than gone the other way - minor gripe.
Knackered but gonna keep going and try for another...one day!
My legs just went between 11 and 12 miles, but it was a great race, good course, just the mud at the end on the turn into the race course was a nightmare.
Hopefully will be back next year.
If there's anyone local, can they let us know how many complaints there are about the traffic, "bumped" into one pratt at about 7 miles moaning he'd been stuck in traffic for hours and that how dare "we" hold him up, could've clouted him, after all it's a sunday and raining, i'm sure the garden centre would still be there in a few hours or tomorrow or next sunday. Most were great though, stood next to their cars etc cheering us on.
I loved the woman with the photographer at 3 miles giving out business cards for the photo people.... So where am I suppose to carry a piece of wet card for 10 miles ?
No perhaps don't answer that !!!
Good race though - I managed 1.53. Thought the weather was actually a help rather than a hinderance.
Great to be running though my old haunts as well, I had forgotten how beautiful Chester is.
Wondered what the hell she was handing out at the 3-mile stage. Nearly took it 'cos I thought it was food.
Way I was feeling on the way back, I probably would have eaten it anyway. Nice sharp-edged business card, that'd be pleasant, snugly tucked down in the shorts
Had an ok race, but ended up running with a hang-over and no breakfast after a slight Eurovision over-indulgance. But still got a 1:35, so happy enough.
I really had to bite my lip and I commend the marshall for handling it so well and not getting caught up in a swearing match. When he starterd having a go at the runners some of them were not so polite and after that he just sat in his car.
Drop your card ?
Last year she did the same thing and the traffic was flowing freely up the left hand side of the road while we ran up the r-h side.
This year I think the feeder lane for the garden centre was coned off as part of the running course,so anyone driving to buy shrubs was stuck waiting to turn right and holding up all traffic.
However I could be wrong as at the time I was trying to squeegee the rain off my contacts while convincing my quads that they could manage another 5 miles.
Or any way to find out my number, tried the results but it doesn't say ?
I found me - but couldn't make out last number. Trial and error though, found them eventually....
And to think, the company is paying me while I'm doing this....
