My first half marathon jogged in 2 hours 43 minutes (slower than top 97% of runners). 12.4 minutes per mile or 4.8 miles per hour. I came 5 runners who finished.
I'm listed & pdf
1820 3427 Jane Fergusson F 46 2:43:18 (Chiptime) 2:44:57 (Guntime)
The organisers obviously hadn't sorted out the transfer of race details from Jane to me!
I ran all the race with Jonathan:
1821 3426 Jonathan Ferguson M 48 2:43:17 (Chiptime) 2:44:58 (Guntime)
Apart from a very minor stomach twinge at 6 miles (which went by the 7th) and a minor blister on my foot - the race was great fun! Thanks Jonathan for your support.
Thanks for the cheers en route from my wife Sharon, Jane Fergusson and daughter Georgina ... and Jazzie my dog.
I wore the 'silver' medal all day at CRABS! Very proud to have done it!
