Thank You Cardiff!!!!

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)

Excellent!

[Lavender1962 Half Marathon]

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

[MatildasPb Half Marathon in reply to Lavender1962]

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

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Brilliant race and sounds like it was a good day all round. Shame about the BBC interview, but there's always next year

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

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? 👍😀

[MatildasPb Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

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.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to MatildasPb]

Fantastic! Have you done the GSR? There are quite a few of us from the forum doing it on the 20th. 👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍

[MatildasPb Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Not this year. I’ve put it the calendar for next year though. Thanks 😊

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

Fantastic! Well done!

Maybe they'll use you to advertise next year's 😁🤞🏻

[MatildasPb Half Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks Jo

Maybe... 😊

[backintime 10 Miles]

Excellent! Really well done.

I'm sure the BBC have kept you in their archives somewhere

[MatildasPb Half Marathon in reply to backintime]

Best place for me 😂

[Irish-John Marathon]

Well done Mpd

[MatildasPb Half Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Thank you.

[BethMay Half Marathon 10 Miles]

Aaaah huge congratulations! I also ran Cardiff (and have signed up again). Such a wonderful atmosphere! 😊

[MatildasPb Half Marathon]

Well done Beth. Wasn't it a great day.

I'm in for next year too.

See you there
