Cake - thanks for the kind thoughts. It was great having such a close battle this year - shame we can't do the same in the Championship. Maybe one day in the Premier League !
I loved this race - I think the heat brought out the masochist in me. My prep was ruined by being at Wembley the day before but 13 miles of pure torture got me over my beloved Blades woes.
I want to thank Accelerate and Holywell Clinic for getting me in the right shoe/orthotic combo to finally rid me of severe arch pain. For any Sheffield runners with injury woes, I can't recommend them highly enough.
Thanks for a great event - I'll be back chasing a better time next year.
I've just entered this evening and I notice that it's up to 5057 entrants. I think the limit is 5500 according to earlier posts so it's probably worth getting in now.
Good luck with the recovery - I've had a long road back to this and I can't wait.
