Well, that's my big race done. Target achieved, with the help of some terrible pacing (me) a mid-race hug (nice marshal) and a promise to myself that I will never have to run ever again (broken, I estimate, by lunchtime today). The Royal Parks half marathon was blessed with superb weather, a great atmosphere and 16,000 runners. Today I have extremely achy legs and a strange sense of anti-climax. Though I was cheered by this fact from the post-race press release I received:
The race also heralded the arrival of the new 'World's fastest fruit' in the shape of Tim Dye, CEO of Ateronon, who completed the course in 1hour, 34 minutes and 34 seconds (dressed as a Tomato) beating the previous record by just 21 seconds
Good job none of the other fruit ketchuped with him, eh? (sorry)
Sunny streets of London aside, did you compete in one of the many other races this weekend? And is anyone else starting the cross country season soon - my first club race is only 2 weeks ago. Where did summer go?
