Hi there,
I am glad to say that I am now officially a marathon runner having completed the Flora London. Prior to the training the furthest I'd run was 4 miles. It was a great day and I met some great people. Thank you all.
Unfortunately the day has been darkened slightly by my fear that someone I know may have cheated.
When I heard the time they did it in I thought they had done exceptionally well, but alarm bells started ringing in the back of my mind, and when I checked their split times things didn't look any better as their first 7 split times are missing. It also seems too much of a conicidence that the average time up until their first split that is shown (35k) is 8:30 per mile but after it drops to 13:45 for the times that are shown. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or not but I don't like cheaters.
If anyone has any thoughts, one way or the other, I would appreciate them.
Thank you
H.
