[linda9389]

Hey, FABULOUS racers!

I promise this is the last post - the final results of our autumn HM and 10k event.

Your enthusiasm has been amazing, your running fantastic and your race reports awesome!!!

But, without further ado, let's announce our winners:

⭐ Guinea70 came in just three minutes faster than our clock time of 2:30:54, to grab first place in the Half Marathon !!!

⭐ RunWillie came in almost two minutes faster than our clock time of 1:12:46, bagging first place in the 10K !!!

Woohoo!!! Congratulations to you both!!!

⭐ Further special mentions are due to Blackberrypie who recorded the fastest HM time in a scorching 1:50:47 and runningdad who recorded the fastest 10k time in a flying 53:45!!!

⭐ Plus, a big shout out to Cmoi who recorded times for the double (again!) and SkiMonday who recorded times for the 10k, a HM and a second half marathon!!!

⭐ And, a massive shout out to nowster who completed a double-double! Yes, that's right two 10k's and two HM's during this event!!!

Above all, to everyone who took part, a huge well done and massive thanks from us.

Thanks too to everyone who contributed to the playlists and the Rungo soundbites! The playlists and RunGo virtual routes are still available if anyone does still want to have a listen (links below)! I have also split the Oxford HM route into three shorter runs starting at 5k, 10k and 15k if anyone wishes to listen to them on shorter runs.

Maybe see you to do it all again next spring!!!

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

Thanks for all your work pulling this together, have downloaded the rungo track for my next long run. Fantastic work everyone particularly those doing doubles and more - impressive work!

Oh, and it wouldn't work on an audio track but this was my favourite sign from the Gosport Half:

"Pain. Don't worry, it's just French for bread."

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Our pleasure! Love that sign! Funny you should mention it though ... the audio track does have something similar 🤣

[Cmoi Marathon]

Many thanks for all the organising linda9389 and roseabi , it must've taken you ages. Really appreciate it, thanks! 😘

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Thank you for taking part - and for championing 'the double'!!! Not sure how 'mwah' worked on the frnch soundtrack, the the UK one just didn't get it right (em wah) 🤔

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to linda9389]

It was so funny Linda, it got read out letter by letter, really quickly, using French alphabetic pronunciation, so ended up sounding roughly like this: em doob luh veh ah ash!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Close 🤣🤣🤣

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to linda9389]

But no cigar!

The Strava lady was still wanging on about my GPS as well, so it all came out as something like "em doob luh veh ah ash your Mum coming back to haunt you votre signal GPS est faible" 😖 👻 🛰️ 😱 🤣

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

😍

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

"My aunt's fountain pen is on the table." perhaps? 😆

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Well done everyone!! And thanks to Linda and Abi for organising this. I hope to join you all on the next one 🤞

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]
