Try as they might these boys just couldn't compete with our Pink Panthers who were on fine form at this years London Marathon.WELL DONE TO ALL OUR PINK PANTHERS WHO TOOK PART.
The race conditions were really difficult as it was incredibly warm so well done to everyone for finishing in such good times.

Cathie Morrow 4hrs 58min 11sec
Helen Veladndes 4hrs 15min
Yvonne Wyke 3hrs 14min 43sec
TOO HOT !!!
The conditions on the day were perfect for spectating, but definately a bit too hot for marathon running, with an average air tempature of 22 degrees , it was reported that the temparture radiating from the road surface was nearer 27 degrees!! Personally I loved the first 10 miles, but I really suffered over the last 8 and then spent 2 hours after finishing unable to stand up!!! Not a pleasant experience.
The crowds and the atmosphere is amazing, but at the end of the day 26 miles is a long way - do it if you dare but dont underestimate the distance!!
(more reports from this or any other event welcome, just send them to

Hi Clare here, just to say the marathon conditions were every bit as bad as Yvonne says. I got into difficulties at 9 miles and quickly saw my target time of 4 hours dissappear! By the end finishing was all that was important to me, i really struggled with the conditions and finished in a dissappointing 4h 55min. As i crossed the finish line i vowed never again but after 4 days the pain has gone but the challenge of a sub 4 marathon is still there for me. I think i may choose a different one next time though! Congratulations to everyone who took part, i can certainly say you deserve a medal!
See you all soon xx
