A real fitness test in prep for the big one, and my 1st half marathon. Decent conditions for running although quite chilly. The route was ridiculously hilly, and it felt like I was in a Fell run at times! Rina and the kids were there to cheer me on - so I didn't want to disappoint! The race went really well. I paced myself up until the final 3rd of the race, then really went for it. Finished in under 2 hours!! official chip timing was 01:56:50. Some bloke decided to run as the Stig. As I passed I could hear muffled whimpering come from his blacked out helmet - out of which a steady trickle of sweat poured...... poor sod!
