Just a note to say this is a TOUGH race which has a couple of nasty hills.A very nice 2k downhill run in through the castle grounds though.Also the best memento i have received for finishing a race last year.

I thought it might be tough but the rest of my family still live in Arundel so I am doing it for sentimental reasons! I will just have to work hard between now and April, luckily there are plenty of hills here for me to practice on.

If you're watching, or running, in the half marathon tomorrow then look out for Alex in his black Nike tope with his name and a red 83 & skull.
I'll give you a 'comfort report' on it after the event. Cold day, will it prevent jogger's nipple?

I used one of those online race predictors using my 10 mile time but to be honest it might only be an extra 3 miles more than what i've done before, but I know already that its gonna hurt! On the plus side the weather looks good for the day.

Subject to confirmation I did 94 mins (1:34). Likewise I was clinging on at the end, the last bit where you run up above the cliff before the slop down to the undercliff was tough. But, it is a new personal best so I'm pleased.
Thankfully the missus was at the finish line and whisked me off to a cafe for scrambled eggs, toast and tea. Feeling a lot better now.

Nice one! In touching distance of the 1:30 mark....
I started way too fast and paid for it at the end. When i got to the bottom of the marina slope, just when I wanted a last 10min effort - I had absolutley nothing left.
If the link below works, it gives the story of my run. You can see whereabouts I shot my bolt.

Some good times there.
On my running watch my time is 1:26 and 40 secs which I'm happy with as a first effort. Conditions were excellent overall. Agree about the final few miles, although I was determined not to slow down! Thought I was in trouble after about 4 miles as I seemed to be exhausted but I took the foot off the gas and was fine up until the end.

The link works, I imagine my profile is very similar. I'll have to look into a Nike+ thingy.
