Still on track for 2:45. Pace has dropped ever so slightly but nothing significant.
Crackers has disappeared. Either his chip is buggered/lost or he’s out.

How’s the world record attempt going?
I knew he was sandbagging!
He runs 3:15 for IM and goes out and runs 40min 10km most days.
Good work chap!
@itom150 smashed it. Again. 2:35:37 
LCB home in 2:47:53, she must’ve jogged that.
‘Cos we all know IM run courses aint short 
@Adam should finish in 3:07 ish. Is that a GFA?
@funkster on 4:12, he’s got 17 minutes to find over the next 10-11 miles, COME ON NINJA!!!
@toby_Hole_in_the_leg looking good at 3:34:XX ish predicted finish.
@BadAsh looking similar to Toby.

I’d guess Adam is too young for that to be a GFA time, but still good going.
Plenty of sandbagger’s on here!

@Adam looks like he’s slowed over the last three miles.
Cracknell has finished 2:55. Not his best, but not bad for an almost 50 year old 95kg bloke

Think that’s his best?
He just said on BBC1.
I racked next to him at Clumber Duathlon one year. This was when I was running 36-37min opening 10km for Duathlons…he came THUNDERING past me after about 6km.
I felt the ground move as he ran past 
He’s also REALLY tall.
Also, I seem to recall @itom150 is in that height/weight ball park?

2:43 he did in 2017.
He’s 1 inch shorter than me, same weight when I was fit but his muscle mass is more than mine.

I’m 196 (6’5") I find it downright freaky when there are people taller than me. Sometimes I see people the same height and I think fuck me they’re huge. What do I look like to other people?

Not even any free gels to stash in the ninja belt?
Cheers fellas.
Shite run for me really. But one I trained for and deserved.
Cruised through the half bang on track at 1:29? Immediately after this my lack of training reared it’s ugly head. All the way down The Highway from 21 to 28 kms it started getting tough. At 28kms I actually started feeling really good but after a brief sip of water around 33kms the wheels fell off never to return. Both hammies taking it in turns to cramp up. Que lots of walking and death march!
All good fun though and really enjoyed it. Probably a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. I knew I had the fitness for a half but got found out when the going got tough!
One day I’ll get a decent marathon block in my legs 
On the train home now seeking a MaccieDs

I’m 185cm (6ft 1?) and when I rowed I got used to being around a lot of people who were taller than me. One of the guys I rowed with was 6ft 10!
I feel like a giant next to some of the people I cycle with now!
