I thought thats why they ask you for what time your aiming to achieve, so they put you at the start time with runners of similar ability?

Hello all, I just got my email, and I've been accepted!

Im a first time half marathoner and would like to ask a question, how does the GNR course compare to other HM courses? Is it fast? 

7.8 miles. 3 mile hill session. 6x400 @ 1:39 average pace w/ jog back down recoveries.

Steady 11 miles @ 7:16 pace.

Came 14th out of 60 or so, top 4 run for England so I had no hope. But not bad considering I was wearing my road running trainers and alsmost everyone else was wearing spikes. Eck, I even lost my trainer in the mud and had to run back to get it, lost a few seconds there.  Remind me to tape my trainers next time.
