Note to self.... I must start a blog... In fact, seeing as I'm so ridiculously good looking it should be a vlog

Great idea! Claralara's might be more popular, though ...

Excellent run, and great report (I love epic reports ).

I see your pacer's name in the results at slightly over 3:20, he must have walked the last three-or-so miles. Very surprised by this - a 3 hour marathon should be a moderate walk in the park for him! Well done for doing it on your own, though.

I remember looking at my garmin at one stage - around 2:55 and thinking that Thomas must be in or around the finish at that point.

I am so delighted for you and thanks again for yet another brilliant race report. I do so look forward to them.:D

Likewise, loved your report, TF. It also helped me understand how I moved up to 11th (couple of drop outs etc).

I'm sure the 3 hour pace was a walk for him, but these things can happen to anyone I suppose.

I think he said that something tweaked on him, but not so sure. Maybe was a preventative move. Hope he's alright anyhow.
Edit: Mrs. Killerz tells me that he said his calf was shot, and that he walked the last bit home.

Thanks!

I had the same feeling at 2:04 going up a hill thinking that the world record holder would be finishing around now!

Congrats Killerz. Super performance also and loved your report.

@ Killerz - Great report and well done on getting that 3hr monkey off your back!
@ TFBubendorfer - Great running there too - I'm sure you'll be back to grab a couple more prizes again next year!

Does anyone know any of the organisers of this Marathon? I entered, paid the fee this year and contacted them before hand looking for a deferral due to injury.

No answers to my many emails. I would just like it if out of courtesy someone would get back to me. I have tried the emails available on their website. If anyone has any other contact details or could perhaps ask them to contact me I would greatly appreciate it.

Just a matter of common courtesy really.

Have you tried contacting them through the Facebook page?

I'm surprised that they haven't got back to you as they seem to be very organised and decent. Their motivation isn't about making wonga, it's about getting people running and enjoying the experience. They actually have hundreds of people out clogging up the canal pathways - they take them out and deliver genuine training packages without charging them.

Although I don't know him, I think the Gaffa's called Marcus. Try them on the Facebook page.
