00:06 Yeah, it was hard work.
00:32 I mean, I do a lot of fell running and trail running.
00:34 And I'm a bit of a road block, so first half
00:36 marathon for two years.
00:38 And yeah, ran hard, led quite a lot of the race,
00:43 and pushed hard at the end.
00:44 Just hard work with some very good runners.
00:48 Yeah, had to do that.
00:49 I did it in 2019 and won it in what was the course record
00:52 in '67 and '29.
00:54 So to go literally a minute and a half quicker than that today,
00:57 I'm delighted with.
01:00 Dan today, he deserved it.
01:02 He took the lead for most of the race.
01:04 I sat on his shoulder and at about 12 and 1/2 mile,
01:06 he just put in a little surge.
01:08 I just didn't have it in me to stay with him.
01:10 Tried to catch him going up in the last 300 meters,
01:12 but just didn't have enough left.
01:14 It's great.
01:15 He's always been well supported the whole way around.
01:17 He's always been challenging.
01:19 And there's a nice group of guys as well
01:21 that are willing to work together and help him.
01:23 I think, yeah, it was very different today,
01:25 because we had quite a strong breeze in the first five miles.
01:28 I was trying to stay relaxed and not use too much energy.
01:31 And then it started drizzling, which
01:33 is quite nice compared to last year,
01:34 because, yeah, last year was so hot.
01:38 So yeah, a lot nicer conditions.
01:39 You enjoy it a little bit.
01:40 Last year, the support was fantastic.
01:43 All along the course, gave you that last little push
01:46 to complete the race when you got to dig in the last few miles.
01:50 It's fantastic that it's a local event that's completely run
01:53 by volunteers with fantastic support from sponsors,
01:56 such as my employer, PB Woods.
02:00 Also, the fact that it raises so much for the charity
02:02 is absolutely fantastic.
02:04 And yeah, looking forward to running it again next year.
02:07 Hello.
02:09 Lee Marshall got a PB.
02:11 He was really happy.
02:12 I think he did about 114.
02:13 So I think he had a great race.
02:16 And Ollie got a PB, so he was happy as well.
02:19 I think most people beat last year's times,
02:21 because it was quite hot last year.
02:22 So I think all of us were a bit up on annuit course time.
