Silverstone half-marathon

[jvlepkowicz]

I enjoyed running the half-marathon yesterday. It was my first time and I was impressed with the time that I had finished in 2:04. I learned something from yesterday as well. Where I stood before the race was the section marked 2:00 to 2:30. When the race started, I was surprised to pass the starting line and see the clock had already had 2 minutes and change already on it. I think that if I were in the front that I may have finished the race under 2 hrs. I would have thought that the clock would have started after everyone had passed the starting line but then that would have not given the correct time to those who were in the front of the line. What will happen to those timing chips that were on our shoes? Will those chips give the correct time and will they be posted on the london-marathon web page? Unfortunately, I will not be running in the london marathon but I will be doing it in Scotland in June. I wish all of you who will be running the "Big Race" next month the best of luck and I'll be watching it on tv.
