The Short of it...
I did it, and I did it well :) AND a new PB in the bag thank-you very much!! Cause I 'crashed' quite badly in my local half only a month ago, I didn't re-set the sub 1hr 50m goal, I just wanted to enjoy the big run and have fun :)
Net time: 1:50:05. SO CLOSE, yet so far!!!!!!! Surely I could have found five seconds somewhere!!
Gun time: 1:52:44, so it did take quite a while to get to the actual start line after the gun went off!
Now, this is the fun part - if you get excited over numbers and stuff like I do ;)
There were 6848 starters.
6278 finished.
I finished 2,178th overall - I estimated maybe in the top half, so pretty happy with that!
567th female - now that's sounding nice - of 2956 that finished.
128th in category of F25-29 years old. (558 in total).
I've run 3 half marathons in total now, and each time I've chopped 3 and a bit minutes off the previous race, so I can't complain about that. (So if I apply that, next one I should do a 1:47 run... lol!) ;)
Will I go back next year - hell yes :) But I wanna do the BIG one ;)

Awesome! You rock!
Hope you're resting your tired little legs now. And getting lots of foot massages. :o)
Fantastic result.
AWESOME result! I did it too in the same age category, got a PB for myself and a net time of 2 hours 15 mins and 27 secs. Am aspiring for sub 2 hours next year!
Hope your DOMS and feet aren't too sore! I'm feeling it today which lets me know I did something yesterday!
CONGRATULATIONS! Awesome achievement Selina! I'm so pleased for you.
