My cunning plan to pass hundreds of people on the flat runnable bits was therefore foiled and I struggled in just over 4:33 - however the objective was always to beat the cutoffs which I did fairly comfortably.
Andy, you did very well, to say you had run London a fortnight before.
Out of interest, what shoes did you have on? I did it in road shoes this year, but the first time I ran PPP I was wearing Flyrocs and got the same blisters you describe. Never again!
