Just by way of update I did it and finished! I was a bit shocked at my time 01:03:14 - I have never ran that fast before!! So for a first go I was really happy with my time and felt great - absolutely loved it and looking forward to doing more in the future. Only thing is I slipped and fell on the path by the river at the half way mark and had to stop so lost at least a minute there if not more - I carried on though with nasty cut on leg with blood running down it even though I felt like crying!! I have definitely got the running bug and have now signed up for half marathon in July next year - again no way I could do that at the moment but I've got plenty of time to train!
Loved it also! Don't know why I was worrying so much. Managed 1:03 which I am really pleased with for a first race and the fastest I have ever gone. Only thing is I slipped and fell on the tow path so had to stop for a couple of minutes - nasty graze up leg! Helenjane007 - brilliant time.
Hope everyone enjoyed it - I will definitely do this one again.
Great - one less thing to worry about! I have worked myself up so much about this race that I feel sick today! You'd think I was running a marathon or something - I really need to stop being such a drama queen. See you all there
I will be wearing my gloves and am going to hide my nano in them as it's so small and put the headphones on after race has started - will pass the headphones through my top and hide in my shock absorber strap (nice!) - there sorted!
