I am totally in awe of your times! Many congratulations to everyone.
I realise I'm just an interloper on this thread of the sons and daughters of Poseidon.. I was just roped in at the last minute to support my friend who was nervous about doing 5k after 3 months in a wheelchair following her last accident.
If there are any normal people thinking of signing up for next year, I would suggest that you could aim for double the length you have trained for. It's like the Marathon or an Audax event where you are carried along by the occasion. If you aim for times like those above though, you'll kill yourselves...
My top tip is to have a clear idea of where your costume is at least 30 mins before you are due to leave the house, otherwise you'll forget to take your bananas and only have mini eggs to graze on until it's your turn. That makes you fret and be nervous.
That Logan's cute!
