Well no medal πŸ™„ until it arrives in the post but I did it, finished upright and smiling. First race and loved every minute of it. 2 hours 37 mins but finished with a faster 5K than I started so know I can go faster ☺️

Would you like a shiny half marathon forum badge to keep you going whilst your medal is in the post? πŸ₯‡

Well done and what a great time. Was the finish in Holywell, or is that just where the photo was taken?
