Cardiff Half in the bag
Perfect weather + Perfect crowd = Perfect fun!
First 9 miles were a dream, miles 10-13 getting serious, then, oh there's the finish - Whoop Whoop!
Massive thanks go to Abi for her excellent training plan. Thanks also to all you lovely people on this forum. Your support has been priceless.
Even got interviewed by the BBC (although I was obviously too boring to broadcast - hehe)
Already entered next year's event - I'm one happy chappie.
(Thanks again Abi)

Well done! Sounds like a perfect experience. 😀 Nice photo of your interview. Wow, you have signed up for next year already!

Yes - I missed the early bird special offer deal though. Which means at least 5000 other people have also signed up!

Well done, sounds like a wonderful race - and look at that weather. ☀️ Bit different this week isn’t it? I’d like to do Cardiff next year, but it’s rather close to Bristol which is my home city. Have you done Bristol? 👍😀

It’s a great atmosphere I highly recommend Cardiff.
Not done Bristol. We have family in Cardiff so free accommodation. 😊
We live in Hampshire so have signed up for a few local events next year.
