Weston Super Mare Half Marathon - conquered sort of

[Pippa49]

Well it was going well and I was in last position not that I cared until I passed a lady in a blue sparkly tutu. She caught me up on the second beach crossing and overtook me. You had to reach the 10mile point by 1pm and I missed the cut off time but I was still able to finish and get a medal and t-shirt, which is too small, but the distance was short by 2 miles so only did 11.1. I did that on 3:22:56. Picture of the medal 🥉 attached. Weather was perfect and the support was excellent as we're the marshals

Hey well done!!! Lovely medal, I'm so glad you got it. It's a pity you lost those 2 miles, but it sounds like you still had a good time - onwards and upwards xxx

'Only' 11 miles 😂 Brilliant stuff, and I LOVE that medal.

Sounds like you had a good time despite the cut off! Nice medal! 🏅

Thanks everyone. For a while I felt like a fraud getting a medal when I didn't do the full distance.

Congratulations Pippa - you ran a loong way and deserve that medal as much as anyone else. It's a beauty! Sounds like a really great event too.

Thanks. It was a great event for its first time run

[Bluebirdrunner]

You thoroughly deserve that medal Pippa, do not think your acheivement was any less well earned than anyone else...you were out running for longer than most!

Kudos to you, I couldn't run that far...

Enjoy your bling...and recover well, long distance Runner! 😊xxx
