Just to be clear, it's correct that the meeting time has changed to 13:00?

What is the plan after the challenge? Are you heading straight off to Wimbledon or will there be a central London meeting point first so people can compare times?

I must admit that I thought that there would have been a press release or some form of announcement regarding results and success (or otherwise?) of this event by now.

Not bad seeing as we had loads of wait at Aldgate and were not running hard

I was probably way down the field.

It was going OK until the last three trains. Had an 8 minute wait at Paddington (Cir/Dis), and that train got held a further 3 minutes before it got to Earl's Court. Then I got held up at the traffic lights on the Aldgate run and just missed the Circle train that had been a minute behind my District service. There were no Met trains running from Aldgate so it was 7 minutes for the next Circle.

3:20:08 (from memory), so denied even a Z1 PB by those delays.
