Hi All
Just got back to Northamptonshire, had a fantastic day, what a brilliant run event, well worth the trip up north
my race - started off too quick like I always do, slowed myself down for the uphill in the tunnel then took it steady to the ferry then upped the pace a little, and managed a sprint for the line from 100 metres out where my brother and niece were shouting me on
timings - 45.53, chip time - 45.34 (PB), positon 36 male 40+ well chuffed will definitely do agian
Alan WELL DONE for putting on a brilliant event, and one of the best goody bags I have had in any race
I'll have to get a babysitter if I'm going to be in it next year!
I bounced in through the front door full of it and Mr LB (hardened marathon runner) said he was going to do it next year "if it's that good"
I had a little glass of Chardonnay to toast everyone's achievements today. It felt rude not to....
Mr Rothwell, sir - the next time you think yours is a thankless crappy task, you should remember us mere mortals on here for whom you have made our day. Thank you!
*Bows*
Great race, really enjoyed it and as a friend who is originally from Swindon said, amazing the amount of organisation which has gone into this in shutting down the tunnel and the free Merseyrail. So big thanks to all involved.
Pretty worried about the hill but dare i say it, found it easy. Did anyone see the army lads with half a tonne each of rocks on their backs? Why is all i could think. Anyway I was pleased with what I did, 55 mins and still standing at the end. Good time Jakesy, what bad knee !
OMG those army lads we were next to them coming out of the tunnel. My mate and I were like fools in that tunnel taking pics on our camera phone (whilst running I add) and discussing big willies
got some very odd looks. Well done MG, LB and DN I wish I'd seen you and yes I did look out. Wish I was 35 though LB I will be in 8weeks and that would have put me at 37 out of 77 not 149 out of 232

Just to echo everyone else - thanks to all the organisers and volunteers that made today possible. And congratulations to everyone who took part.
I managed to get my aim of sub 60 with a 58.20. Next to try and get under 55.
Will defo be doing this event next year, looking forward to it already!
Results are here!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, well done to everyone - I ran faster than I expected, having not done much training for it, and am only slightly gutted that I ran 10 seconds slower than my PB! (50.38)
Thanks Alan and the team.
Can't account for why medals or t's didn't appear in the bages as we spent all day on Saturday packing them!!
Well done everyone!
Alan - if I'd have packed 2000+ bags, not only would my hands be bleeding, but I'd have missed more than one or two......
The speed with which the marshalls sorted it out more than made up for the fact that the medal wasn't there. I'll definitely be back next year.....
Manc Girl - I do hope it wasn't you having a wee at the exit of the tunnel?
I was 36th out of 47 for my age.....L45.........chip time 1:07:37.
Maybe if I'm still running at 70, I might be in the top 10 (maybe not!)
In the words of Mr Grace "You've all done very well!"
Fisherman in New Brighton saw me runniung past puffing and very red in the face, turned to his mate and said " why would you put yourself through that?". I wanted to shout "'cos we love it!" but I thought I probably didn't look convincing!
It's true though (never thought I'd say it!)
Well done one and all!
Really enjoyed the event,certainly will return next year.
PB for meat 49.10 Hooray!
and i was captured on one of the photo's!! yay!
