    46.40 for Ger664 at 10k. Don't know his target. Delighted to see The Bitter Lemon made it in the end! 44.40 at 10.

    I think Ger is Looking for a BQ (sub 3:25) on target for sub 3:20 at halfway..

    Yaboya Finished in 3:08.
    Looks like he had a rough time over the last 7.2k :mad:

    Still a massive PB, so well done.

    Good man, Yaboya. You're 40 seconds ahead of me for the distance! I think we could make a good marathon couple. Sounds like your finish is similar to mine (unfortunately).

    Enjoy a few beers in the sun.

    Yaboya is happy. Suffered a severe stitch at 23 miles which cost him the 3:05.


    Still a superb improvement. Much more to come certainly.

    And thanks Itziger for all the updates today. The tracker wouldn't work on my phone so your posts where much appreciated.

    So sorry to hear that Tbl, very, very frustrating after all your hard work.
    You'll be back to fight again another day

    I eventually had to drag my butt out to do a short run of my own, so missed the last 45 minutes of the lads' running. I find the tracker bleeding addictive.

    Thanks for all the support. I was worried about the trackers as when I ran over them they didnt beep.

    Fell/Tripped dont know but I hit the deck pretty hard @ 39K and was looking good for sub 3:20 took me a minute to get back going again so just shuffled home as best I could for 3:21:21 Would have taken that at the start no doubt so not disappointed with what happened.

    Race report when I find a PC that has MS Word on it :)

    Great Run Ger, unfortunate about the fall but fair play to you for picking it back up. Hopefully you got the BQ time you were looking for. I hope the post race celebrations are been taken as seriously as the pre race training;)

    Enjoy!
    Fantastic race for absolute peanuts in comparison to a lot of the other big city marathons. €30 if you sign up early enough IIRC?

    Not doing Seville but Barcelona a month after. Seville is a beautiful city and heard so many good things about the marathon so you'll have a great time. As others have said the course is dead flat so will be a fast one. Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
