I had a great race! After the SLIGHT disappointment of Windsor a couple of weeks ago, I kicked off this one with the aggression that I normally approach races!
Went through the 5 mile marker at 33:18ish! Carried on until the end pretty much trouble free. I admit to slowing down at about 6 miles, but once I'd sorted my head out, I felt fine! Crossed the line at 8.2 in 55:31
I found it a bit cold, but I s'pose thats a good enough reason to go like something off a shovel!!! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as me!

Hi Murf, bit early for you
Did you manage to meet up with all the other forumites?
venom
Met with a few of the forumites!
That half at Windsor has done me good I think!
See you all tomorrow!
average mile 8min 40seconds - which is 30 seconds a mile slower then Fleet 1/2 done at the beginning of the year so I'm a bit confused.
The guy who won the 8 mile race was triathlete Stuart Hayes from Twickenham who's girlfriend/coach is Michelle Dillon who was a member of the British triathlem team at the Olypics at Sydney.W
Well done Jill who won her race.
Sorry I didn't meet up with you guys, didn't see anyone wearing the 'club vest' - but looks like I wouldn't have seen anyone anyway :-)in the race with my time.
So who's doing the Cabbage Patch next Sunday and what are you going to do this week .
Mind you not sure I would have done any better, did find some of the miles seem to go on forever and yes it was a tad chilly. I had to get out the long sleeve top, compared to boiling in a vest at Southend last Sunday it was a bit of a shock.
This was over 20 mins slower than my Breakfast Run in March, but it was a nice end to my season. I'm putting my feet up for a few weeks, and resting. And then it all starts again....
Big Bopper.
B.O.P. till I drop.
New PB of 1hr 16 mins for 8 miles so looking v good for 55 min 10k at brighton. Sprint finished so unfortunately my knees are a bit iffy. Lovely to meet Caz et al at start.Mr J completely missed the finish but did have the Jumpets to drag out of the house at a very early hour. Congrats Jon, I didn't even see your dust :-)
