I reckon we were brave to turn up. ;-)
I had the biggest DNF demons throughout the race last night, so I really was happy just to see it through to the finish. Was thinking I'd want to at least target sub-35 so on paper 17:31 at halfway was looking OK, but I was always fading; 18:12 second half (slower than marathon pb pace!) for 35:43 on my watch. I've run more than 2 mins quicker than that on the road this year, in tights.
MsPub's happy to have beaten me twice within a week, she ran a track pb of 35:30 for her win. Southern champ, winning herself a medal, a rucksack and a mug!44 miles on the bike this morning. Cycling's much more fun than running in this weather.

yes, it was too hot, windy and I'm too out of shape. well done everyone else.
I am dusting off the double pushchair for parkrun this morning, first time the twins have been in it for about 6 months
