Well done Mark - these are great photos and beautifully clear. Digital cameras are a great
invention.

It is very funny and possibly a coincidence :) I am on one of the pictures. 7114 was my
bib number!!!

I was very disappointed with my run. Though started on track for sub 3hr, but did very poor over the
last 10km. However, I had
1:23h at half way mark and felt great and were dreaming of a
2:56h finish. Into the third hour I could not hold the pace, was simply too hot (18C+) for me and
all energy was gone. So I crawled over the line still in a new PB of 3:08h (2 minutes).
Nonetheless, fantastic crowd around Cutty Sark, London Bridge and Embankment. *Sigh* will have to
wait until autumn then.

congrats on the PB by the way. I was the lazy **** sat at home watching it. Probably the best one
ever, due to the turn out and that time by Paula.

What an interesting coincidence that your picture was on my page, considering that there were 33,000
runners! Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your run - better luck in the autumn ...

That cap *must* go. It may once have been your "lucky charm", but that mojo isn´t working anymore...

1:23 strikes me definitely as incompatible with a sub-3 finish! I believe the allowable deviation
from even pace is <2% - but I know: those whom God wants to break, he first makes blind:)

Maybe you should´ve emulated Paula Radcliffe and counted: "One, two, three...hundred, anothera
mile(1) gone!":)

My symphaties - and congrulations of the bittersweet PB:)

Amsterdam?

(2) in your case - and mine, too - a good bit short of a
mile...

Hmm, should've gone for a negative split - it worked for Paula - of course what can I say - I was
supposed to be doing Two Oceans marathon on saturday, but just couldn't keep up the training here,
oh yeah and my marathon PB is only 4:15 - but that was done without enough training at slow speed
(purely to get the qualifying time for two oceans), in -5 temperatures...
