This is still 8 minutes quicker than my official time in 2006 which was 64 minutes and 16 seconds</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Please see link to race website <span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.twocastlesrun.org.uk/" target="mytarget">http://www.twocastlesrun.org.uk/</a> &nbsp;</span> and click on the link to ' results ' for the official results ( just under ' well done runners'). I was 870 out of 2500 which put me in the first 35% which isn't to bad for a short fat bloke ?</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial;">It was a fabulous day with a wonderful back drop ...really really good.&nbsp; <span style="font-family: Arial;">It has inspired me to do it again..and maybe some other event ?
