The Human Race
Wow. I just did it. That was actually quite an enjoyable run. Though slightly disappointed with my official time of 01:07'25" (see 2006 effort), it was another awesome London experience, running in the rain amidst a sea of red shirts and completing the 10k route in view of the Wembley Arch, which literally made for a breathtaking finish.
Right. Where's my big fat burger and chips...
Edit: ooooh, check out this scathing review of the event. Oh well.
So apparently, the thing is either today here in SF or next week. I noticed the billboard sometime today, tho didn't take notes. Thing about riding a bicycle 'round town is that you look at ads less, tenks Gad.

Congratulations on finishing it at all! I certainly couldn't. Fantastic picture of Wembley too!
ps.
You're clearly a better runner when drunk - I suggest that next time you continue drinking the whole way round, and you're sure to beat the 1 hour barrier.

Woohoo! I ranked 137,921. And London is in 2nd place beating The French, Germans, and the Americans with an average of 57' 47"...
