Boring. Uninspiring. Rip-Off. Three words to describe the half marathon organized by ultramarathon.org.uk I do have issues with the organizers as they call themselves the UK's "Ultramarathon" organization, yet all their races are not ultramarathons. They charge excessive entry fees for UK athletics events, they are never organized at start or finish lines, and the routes usually follow heavily traveled roads. Ok, off my soap box. Actual Finish time was 1:57:30, horrible, but oh well.
Started the year with a drizzly and boring 13.1 mile race, but did have one exciting moment...... I got to punch a car after as guy tried running me over at mile 11, right in front of a race marshal who also tried stopping the car. I pounded as hard as I could on the hood, hopefully scaring the crap out of him. Needless to say, I surged with adrenaline and picked up the pace the last 2 miles to the finish:)
