andsome Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Well done. Unfortunately I did not see you. I reckon that the TV presenters did not think that you were Photogenic enough. How much did you raise?EDIT. PS I wonder if you are aware that the winner was not only the fastest time for this run, but the fastest ever half marathon in the world. He broke the old record by one second. 59 minutes and five seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Just found this link on the Great Run site. It's an interactive map of The Great Run.Interactive mapPS, just got the first official time through. mine is given as 2 hours 54 mins 36 secs. I think that must be my personal time I made it as 2 hours 54 mins 27 secs. This electronic chippy thing is a lot quicker than the previous bar code method.
