Wow that’s more than I was expecting. I was under the impression the cost was coming down as there’s no medal. I’ll still run but that’s way too much money.

A freezing Preston Park parkrun for me today. 22:05 and a SB 74.57%.
Good luck to all the Worthing HM runners tomorrow - looks like being good conditions and PB territory.

Yes, but got round it by using the spanner symbol that takes you to the same menu

I thought it was a joke as well, we had a chat about it and I suggested there's nothing stopping me showing up at the last minute, running it in 90odd minutes and not collecting a medal without having to pay the £40. If I wasn't running for a PB, I wouldn't have paid so much to enter. But, I am - so I'll bite the cost. But it is a bit much.
Thanks the pencil icon next to the spanner did the trick. Looking forward to meeting you in a 5k later on now you've elbowed me down the table.
But terrible value for [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] at 45p a minute compared to [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION] 33p plus a medal. [MENTION=474]Mr Blobby[/MENTION] gets a good 30p a minute plus another medal for possibly the most medalled NSC runner.
Good luck everyone and don't forget to ask Ninja how much his entry cost.

Hope everyone had a good Worthing. I made 10 miles so I'm on the start line for Brighton. Slow progress but not painful. I just wanted a few hills in as well as the flat so I ran to Hove Park along Old Shoreham Road which has got some good undulations and did a lap of the parkrun course before heading down to the seafront. Home in to the wind. I will never learn.

Thanks. Ran in a bib with Emily scrubbed out and a big black cross to indicate I was one of the disorganised there to be rinsed and refused a medal. I grabbed one at the finish as Emily deserved it so on reflection I'm now happy with my £40 fee. Fairly conservative time for me but felt strong and now regret not pushing a bit harder. Near perfect conditions with only an annoying westerly wind to spoil an otherwise glorious day.
Others on here have clocked some very impressive times with a few pb's for good measure.
I'll run it again as it's so flat. Not a hill in sight.

Came in just under my lower expectation, so feeling pleased with myself (1:44:51). Even more pleased with my split times: I always go off fast and hang on at the end often having a 2 minute range between my fastest and slowest miles; Today there was barely 45Secs - with the first 7 miles all pretty close. If it hadn't been for the head wind on that slog out to Goring ..
I reckon all those who say you should start slower and run at a more even pace might be on to something!

Have you all had your times sent from Worthing half yet as haven’t had anything back yet. But don’t think I did as well as those times coming up on here, felt great but went off like a steam train, I never do that normally but paid the price late on [emoji31]
