The Birmingham Half was two miles short due to standing water making the course hazardous. I did 1:29:22 which was Pb pace.
Thats true but the initial announcement before my wave set off was that it had been reduced to 12 miles because of flooding. It was only later the true story was announced. Shame, because it was otherwise really enjoyable today. The crowd support seemed to be better than ever.
Not quite 1:59 territory but easy to overlook the marathon time of Jan Frodeno at the Ironman world championship in Kona yesterday, after a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike he knocked out a 2:42 marathon. Not too shabby.
