Bath HM

[AndyD]

Lovely day for a run around Bath along with 15,000 other runners!!

Not my best run.. legs really didn't want to work today, but crossed the finish line and picked up some bling.

My low point was when a Pantomime Horse passed me.. but I found some strength from somewhere to put them behind me!!

Very well done to you.

Looks mighty busy xx

[poppypug Marathon]

Well done Andy ! Brilliant !

I feel your pain , I got beat by a giraffe last year at the GMR. He stuck his neck out, I didnt stand a chance Ha ha !

Smashing bling too ! xxx

Ha! Perhaps we should all post about the embarrassing "over-takers" that we have witnessed.. Someone at work told me that they were once overtaken by someone running backwards!!

[AncientMum Half Marathon in reply to AndyD]

Running backwards? That was probably Miles_Yonder, he used to do that

[poppypug Marathon]

Ha ha ! xxx

[AncientMum Half Marathon]

Many many congratulations Andy. You must be delighted. I find it embarrassing to be over taken by small children running with their parents every week at Parkrun, although none of them have been wearing animal costumes ....yet!!

Great pics, well done and I saw the horse too, I don't know how they did it!! Wasn't it so hot too 😎

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to ju-ju-]

I saw the horse later on and his back half seemed to have lost its 'filling' and the front half had draped it around his withers. It still beat me though...

Congratulations Andy ! Massive respect to you - and so what if it wasn't your fastest, a HM is a long way and beyond my wildest dreams at the moment! The photos are great too, thanks for sharing🙂.

Congratulations. What a beautiful city to enjoy a (really long) run around. Lovely medal.

I was once overtaken by a pumpkin!

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

[shinyhappy123]

[Unfitdad59]

Congratulations! I am inspired by all you HM and M completers! I have my first ever HM next weekend at Hampton Court and all I want to do is finish. I hope you weren't aching too much after!

[Paul46-ipswich]

haha that made me laugh - the horse!, my son in law whos a personal trainer did the London marathon last year without any prep and was overtaken by a guy carrying a fridge on his back lol

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

I missed this... well done Andy, perhaps you should have given the horsey a sugar lump.. then you could have passed him....
