Most interesting half split of the day? Runner 1086.
1:19:28 & 1:10:27.
He passed me at about 25k. One of 3 runners just to pass me from 9 miles to the finish. I remember his no and logged in the memory bankKrusty_Clown wrote: »Damn. I'd have had him up on the cross, before you could say 'Lee'.
I see he has a PB of 2:16:49. Perhaps he was using it as a training run in the lead up to a New Zealand Olympic qualification? No shame in being passed by a 2:16 runner.
Here's an article on him. Actually it was just a training run, as he was hoping to be 'in the top 400 at half-way and the top 50- at the finish'. Has the 'B' standard. Came 14th in Berlin. 
Paul occasionally posts on the sub-3 thread on runners world with the handle of marders. It was a training run for him. He intended to go 80/69 for the two halves but pushed it too hard and only just got in under 2:30. He's running Prague in a couple of weeks in a last ditch attempt to go under 2:15. If anyone ran London last year he was the 2:45 pacer then. Incidentally he was the first runner home with a negative split. The second half of London this year was definitely harder than the first.
Well done to all on your results. I've enjoyed the race reports. Some cracking times and great stories of perseverance. Hopefully I'll be there again next year.0 -

You should have run faster earlier on if you were going that fast.

You passed 77 and 0 passed you. Yeah great Im delighted :rolleyes: let's get down to the real stats.
Opposite Sex
For the record, you were ahead of about 100% of women runners.
Refcuking-sult. Had already checked this in main results but technically didn't get chicked. Delighted that elite women are a separate race. Hurrah for sexism 0 -

Did you catch any of the tail-enders from the elite race though, that should be the next target to make up on the head start they get.0 -
