Just wanted to add my congrats to everyone who ran for or supported the club yestersday (Andy P - thanks for your encouragement on that last difficult mile ... It did the trick!)

Also wanted to mention that I shaved 6 minutes off my previous PB to finish in 1:39:07 (621st overall) (I believe I was missed off the news release), which I'm extremely pleased about seeing as I hobbled away from my last half (Stevenage) with an ankle injury which took me out of action for 2 months. Much better yesterday!!

There's gotta be more to life than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me ...

Definitely a PW for a baggage queue - guess we were lucky it wasn't outside and that we hadn't been running in pouring rain.. But great to see each other and a way more pleasant experience than Roding Valley. JIM Part of the 1:35 "plethora."

London marathon baggage collection is about 5 seconds (or less....)

Well done everyone! Great times all round. Lucy enjoyed her first outing as a Spartan. Quite a few don't seem to be listed as Spartans and Ben seems to have joined FVS TRI if we are led to believe the results are right?
Did anyone get a PB in the baggage queue - I doubt it!! Some friends said they were in a queue for the baggage for an hour and a half??

Well done everybody, organisation was definitely hopeless, I didn't think I was going to find the 10k start line today, no marshall or signpost in sight! Was a great course and great weather so all worth it in the end...

Was funny hearing them announce on the tannoy 'Could somebody please correct the time on the finishing clock as its 10 minutes out!' Summed up the organisation!

I've found this a lot with races lately. My chip time agreed to my watch for a change so 1:33:49

I've reviewed it to that effect on Runners World. Bring on Silverstone next week, hopefully chip away a few more seconds

Thanks to everyone for their encouragement, especially Andy P for cheering us on through that brutal last mile! Steve
