So I did my first competitive 1/2 Marathon.. did well except.....
Got to the finish line, went to press the stop on my Garmin, while making sure I stamped down on the finish mat to record my time and managed to fall over.. TIT!!!!!
As the wife says would of been a brilliant picture if I'd managed to stay up..

well done on your half marathon! no way could I do that!!!
I'm way off that yet
This was my 'A' running race of the year and I had a target of 1:45.. although due to injury I haven't run over 6 miles in the last 4 months so quite chuffed...
It makes me realise how hard the middle distance race might be........
But well done on the run.
PS. Me and Mrs. Roberts would be delighted to see you at Windsor......we're at a Wedding in Canterbury on the Saturday so will miss you racing (with the early start) but we'll head straight over after we've had breakfast and will be around to celebrate with you!

During the leicester half a friend of mine was running with another member of the club acting as a guide as he is almost completely blind. As the blind runner was quite a bit faster than my friend it wasn't the perfect match and he subsequently ran him ragged. On crossing the finishing line my friend was so knackered that he accidently ran the other guy into the giant time sign thingy! Don't worry, he wasn't hurt, just a little annoyed.
I am in for the Bristol Half in september and have put down 1.45. What did you stick on the form when you entered as a finish time?
Well done dude. I cant see any pink anymore?
Last night at the pool i was checking out a chick and managed to move halfway across the lane and nearly crashed into fat man nemesis (which would be sore).
