Well, Sunday 11th March finally arrived marking the day of my attempted world record of the "Fastest Half Marathon dressed as a Nurse (Female)"  All I had to do was run 13.1 miles, dressed in a nurses uniform in under 2 hours! Simples!  Hmmmmmm.......

As usual the pre race nerves kicked in....even worse than normal as this time I couldnt just blend into insignificance as I was going to look like a blimmin LOONY!  Lucky for me everyone at the Friends of Mick and Phil Half Marathon were absolutely wonderful!  I had some great "nurse quips" along the 13.1 mile course, lots of smiles and lots of encouragement.  I would recommend this race to anyone, such a great atmosphere :D  

I set off rather quickly and had to "calm this shit down whitlock" and get into a nice rhythm before I blew up! So I settled down to a 8:30 min/mile thinking that would give me a bit of bunce towards the end of the race.  I did start to tire towards the end but apart from one mile I managed to keep under 9mins/mile and averaged 8:38 mins/mile over the whole run!  Which gave me a finish time of.......
1:53:53
WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! WELL IN!

Full results of the winners are on the GUESS THE FINISHING TIME page

So now All I need to do is collate all the Evidence of the run and send off to the Guinness World Records and hopefully before long I will have Official Confirmation that Myton Nurses are the best in the world!  Well the fastest anyway lol!

BIG Thankyou to the Race Directors, Tess and Noel who were so encouraging and provided witness statements :D

And from the sublime to the ridiculous....I think I got a bit overexcited by the sunny day today and decided Id cycle home in my shorts!  Well after 20 mins I had to stop and stick my legwarmers back on lol!  It might be nice in the day but it still gets chilly quite quickly in the evening.....shorts!!! Hmmmmm we are not quite there yet lol!
