Last year I ran the Valentine 10k Love Run in Battersea Park and well, suffice to say wasn't too impressed with the organisation. In the interests of fairness though, I've decided to re-enter to see if the various comments and suggestions for improvement from me (and others) have been taken on board.
Let's hope so.

what happens when signing up for your first triathlon turns out to be a whole lot more than you bargained for ... this started out as my 17 week odyssey ... now I can't stop it ...
Welcome
I signed up for my first triathlon in March 2006 with some friends. It seemed a suitably insane challenge. This blog was my way of capturing how out of my depth I felt as I bumbled through the training sessions. I was along for the fun you see.
It's now a few years later and that first triathlon a distant memory (phew). I found myself liking the fitter and slightly leaner me so much that I decided to continue.
If you like / hate or fall somewhere in between about this site but just can't keep it to yourself then drop me a mail. I can be reached at stephanieontour@yahoo.co.uk
The links below are the events I am or have been training for ... hope it gets bigger over time

Apparently not.
Actually it says in Runners World that each athlete would have a certificate, t-shirt and goody bag at the end. I only got 2 bottles of water.
Anyway... do you know where they will publish the results?
Cheers
For me, I thought this years race went better than last years - probably helped by driving so I could leave my stuff in the car rather than using the baggage tent.
In terms of the goodies, as far as I know the certificates and times will be sent (post & text) over the next few days, I think the times will also be available online from Tuesday. I didn't see any goody bags but I was able to collect my t-shirts at the start of the race.
Perhaps you could email the organisers asking for a t-shirt. Given it advertises their charity if they have some left over they might be willing to accommodate ..
Other than the goodies I hope you enjoyed the morning though. the weather was superb!
