Jack was a super star coming in the top third and running the whole mile. Orla was assisted somewhat by Daddy but still got her medal which she was very pleased with. The main race was exceptional in terms of organisation. The race has really grown since I first ran it and there was fantastic support along the route with bands playing and music to keep us going.
The mile up hill at the end is a killer but I was pleased with 1:53:05. At 8 miles I was surprised to be overtaken by John Wright who had declined to mention that he is a Strider on his entry form but he looked very comfortable and must have aced his first half marathon. Well done also to Jan - more Striders next year, this really is a great race!
