Awesome. There must have been a huge bunch of people in the middle, 'cos at 1:41:36 I'm 628/7431. If there were 10,000-odd runners, 7431 finishers is believable, I think their starters figure is wrong.

I saw some people barely/not even able to stand being supported, carried, dragged over the finish line by their friends or the marshals. That's heroism right there.

Wow, that so good for a first run! Did you go over the line with your chipped foot forward? Every millisecond counts!

I think they must have been a bit tricksy, as there wasn't a line so much as a big blue mat, so I have no idea where in a metre the timing was taken!

Well done on your masochistic achievement. Weirdo.

OK, so a very fit weirdo, but still....

Mmmmmm, fit...

Ahem, sorry, what?
