Anyone else think the reverse route is faster? Did my fastest ever WMM today and am hoping it's just that I am getting fitter and faster?

It was my first time doing it, but I reckon it would have being much faster that the old route! Other way around I think the hills might have being at just the wrong time for me ! It was lovely to run down hill on the turn on dual carriageway!

But you are prob fitter and faster !! it's such an encouraging b atmosphere!

The results are on the website. We usually have to wait until Tuesday afternoon for the online results - after they are published in the Herald.

No they're not, they get published in the Herald first and then get posted on site unfortunately

I did yeah, they have a pulldown for 2017 but its not populated with this years results yet.

You may be looking at previous years results?

...not that it makes much odds to me, my result is a shambles

Mine measured same. And I started mine before I crossed the mat as it bugs me when my watch measures short.

What did people think of the race yesterday? I enjoyed the reverse route. The only thing is at the first corner I found it got very congested but after that it was fine for me. Did anyone else find them stricter with the pens and coloured bibs this year? I was in the pink pen early and seen a few people being asked to leave the pink and white areas with the incorrect bibs.
The area immediately after the finish line was much longer, I thought I had missed the part where you get your medal. I guess they needed more space for health and safety with finishers hanging about.

I'd much prefer that, I think a lot more people would do it on a Sunday.

I was in the middle section of the pink pen and Tbh the amount of people that were walking in the first km alone was unbelievable. I can't understand why people sign up as a jogger and then start walking within the first ten minutes... rant over!

That was my only complaint, other than that I really enjoyed the race and will be aiming to do much better in next year's race!

Would prefer this too. At least we can have a few to celebrate and relax and recover on Mon.
Instead of yesterday evening which was get lunches and uniforms ready when I got home and enjoyed just one glass of wine with my takeaway. Tired in work today.
