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

Well this week has been quite hilarious as we have decided to do a fundraising video to publicise the Bike Challenge.  My lovely friends Rachel and Ian along with my son spent the day taking pics, being extras and filming increasingly more random clips for the film!
First visit was the gym, moving onto the Village Cycle Centre closely followed by Coventry Myton Hospice.  After this our next port of call was Tesco's and then Steppey Lane for some hill climbing footage!  Finally we took some "domestic scenes" at home to finish off the whole debacle lol! Goodness knows what it will end up like as it is in the hands of Director and Chief Editor Mr. Kennedey! :p
Hopefully all will be complete ready for the first public event at the RUGBY CLOCKTOWERS SHOPPING CENTRE this Saturday - (18th February!)  Please come along if you are in the area and say HI!
