doug Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 By the Greatrun site is slow but the results are finally published. Hope this shows up adequately as I've summarized them as a Word table. Copied to Clipboard, copied down into PSP8. Selected just the table and saved as a jpg file. Finally checked it using Irfanview and attaching it below. Bit of a palaver but this is my very first time doing it this way. :blink:Sorry about the confusion only I noted today that the published results showed an extra +8,000 finishers. Consequently, i@ve updated the table and also now show the numbers crossing the line with me in the then 15 min slot. As you will see by running that much faster I merely ran into the peak absolutely worst case compared with last year. While out collecting tonight I met a young chap who did it for the first time in 1 hour 59 mins. He confirmed how crowded it had been. I'll now update the next post for the finishing rateThe rest of the results now speak for themselves. I know it seemed very hard work to only finish up 27 places higher in my age group. There must be some very fast 60 - 65'sEdit Last year there were photo's available but they're not through yet.Post edited for correction to the published results for the missing 8061 missing finishers at the tail end.

doug Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Just been looking through the results in a bit more detail. Reta of finish is shown attached i.e. plot shows number that had crossed the line in preceding 15 mins. No wonder I had found it hard going I had crept up into the most dense bunch. Will have to run faster next year to get ahead of the main bunch. I said I'd had to work harder this year trying to get past the others!Editted for missing 8061 finishers and also the results for 2003 for comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yep! Your bang in the middle of the vast majority of runners crossing the line in your time frame doug. :( I think its going to be difficult to judge your best starting position next year so that you don't get caught up in the mass when starting and finishing? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Train even harder and start at the front. You might even get a world record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Just checked the results board and they have obviously found a lot of late arrivals ~8,000 of them. So I'll update my original postings and repost them. They must have been very slow walkers. I'll do a comparison with the 03 results for interest. I'll do an extra posting to say I've done it to save too many checking unnecessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Look forward to it. Will be in contact with suggestions on muggings - persuading people to sponsor you. It does mean pounding the streets and knocking on every door.In addition folks because of the missing +8000 I have updated the info in posts #1 $ #2. Sorry for that but you have to have some sympathy for the time keeper because it must be so easy to lose 8000 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
