You Did It! Now, Where's That Magical Marathon Time Hiding?
Congratulations, superstar! You conquered the London Marathon! You battled the miles, the crowds, and maybe even a rogue banana peel (don't worry, it happens to the best of us). Now, the only thing left is to find out just how amazing you truly are by uncovering your official finish time.
But fear not, weary warrior, for this isn't some grand quest involving cryptic riddles and a hidden temple. Finding your London Marathon time is a breeze, easier than that post-race high five you gave a lamppost (we've all been there).
Here's your handy guide to unearthing your marathon magnificence:
Tech Time Traveling: The Official App
The TCS London Marathon app is your one-stop shop for all things time-related. Download it (if you haven't already) and follow these simple steps:
- Channel your inner detective: Use the search bar to type in your name or bib number. You're basically becoming a marathon-time Sherlock Holmes!
- Voila! Your glorious finish time will be displayed in all its glory. Prepare to bask in the afterglow of your achievement (and maybe screenshot it for bragging rights).
Website Wonders: The TCS London Marathon Results Page
Maybe you're more of a traditionalist, a pen-and-paper kind of runner. No problem! Head over to the TCS London Marathon website and navigate to the results page.
Here's the plan:
- Search party of one: Just like the app, you can enter your name or bib number in the designated area.
- Drumroll, please... Your time will be revealed, ready for you to share with the world (or at least your most supportive running group chat).
Didn't Run This Year? No Sweat!
The beauty of the London Marathon website is that it's a treasure trove of past results. So, if you crushed the course in a previous year, you can revisit your past glory:
- Click on the "Past Results" tab. You'll be presented with a glorious list of past marathons.
- Take a trip down memory lane: Select the year you ran and follow the same search steps as above.
There you have it! Your marathon time, ready to be celebrated, analyzed, and maybe even used to settle a friendly pub quiz.
