Wimbledon Audi 10K in support of NSPCC

Nobby

Earlier start!!! That's like the middle of the night... I travelled from High Wycombe and actually parked easily about half a mile from the start.... Apart from my marker gripe I thought it was a fab race and if you could order weather like that every time I would be more than happy!! It was also great fun watching a steward politely suggest a lady pumping her horn in her 4x4 in Wimbledon Village should keep her hair on!!! Looked like she was short of some exercise... he he

Was this race short in distance? (What with the differant start/finish position).

A lot of people seem to have got PB's, (me included) but is certainly didn't feel like one.

Anyone measuer it on Garmin etc?

I measured it on gmap-pedometer and it was 9.87k, so slightly short.

I also measured it on gmap - got 10.15k

Maybe you got lost along the way somewhere ;-)

scratch

do you have a url for your's?

richardw1972

Sure:

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=765149

That's how I remember it anyway!

Same route as me - I got 9.93k trying again...

Tried via the Nike one the other day and got 10.15k...

I think it was around 10k tbh

richardw1972

I suppose the hills add a bit on, don't they?

What's the URL for that Nike one?

scratch

www.runlondon.com

however I think this also uses goggle-map..

Disappointing if it was under 10k's ...

Anyone measure it with a garmin?

richardw1972

Cheers. It's definitely gmap, isn't it?

scratch

FYI - just tried again on runlondon.com - got 10.09k - used the satellite view - and measured it using the most zoomed in setting. !!

(too much time on my hands at work)

9.93 on the Garmin.... but that isn't too innacurate over 6.21 miles with a bit of straight lining when satelite reception lost in built up areas!! I would say pretty accurate...

I'm happy to be proved wrong, believe me! I was feeling a little short-changed..

Are there any photos of the race?...like last year? Always fun to look at the grimaces.

I enjoyed it as usual....no earlier start please...9.30 start means 6.30 rise already..and let's not give in to the 'must go to brunch/shopping' mob. Fortunately I had no probs with traffic.

Thanks to the organisers and marshalls!
