Ziggy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Probably just under 1hr 33min for me which is about a 6 minute PB. I was never really threatening to go sub 90 min and the last 3 miles were a bit sore. I knew they would given the lack of long runs recently. I decided to just start at the very front of the green group because I heard that there was a 10 min gap between the start times of the white & green groups. However I think the delayed start meant that there wasn't that big a gap. That meant I had to start weaving through the white group as I went over the Kingston Bridge. However it was brilliant running up St.Vincent St more or less on my own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was brilliant running up St.Vincent St more or less on my own. Ran out of greenies (or whatever they're called) by this point in the thread, so well done to the above also! I ended up running about trying to stalk the great man (Haile) wherever possible. Got a handshake after the race! The guy is an inspiration. From what I could tell the course seems better than before, it's actually fairly similar to a run I often do on my way home from work. I reckon the finish looks more runner friendly also, i.e. not thinking you're nearly there when you've still got quite a way to go as it always seemed before. Felt weird not to be doing it this year, but I would've never have done myself justice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treading the same path that haile ran. Kudos on getting a handshake though, something to live long in the memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Fair play to you lads. The only time I'd ever consider running would be in an attempt to get away from somebody forcing me to exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I ended up running about trying to stalk the great man (Haile) wherever possible. Got a handshake after the race! The guy is an inspiration. He ran past me twice when he was warming up. The first time I just shouted "Haile" and he gave me a friendly wave & hello as he ran past. The second time I was trying to get a photo but he ran past again (with the same friendly wave & hello ). Bloody professionals eh, imagine not interrupting his warm up to get a photo taken with an idiot shouting at him in a broad Glaswegian accent.

Thundermonkey Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Congrats to everyone here that ran (especially Baggio, had no idea you were running today). I stunned myself with a 2:00:40 finish in the half. I had prepared for 2:30. The new course is great and before I knew it we were at 11 miles. The people that came out and supported were magnificent. They certainly helped give me a boost. The last mile was tremendous, felt like I found a 5th gear from somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
