Bristol Half Marathon Advice

Hey everyone,

Got the Half Marathon tomorrow. I signed up in January and signed up with a "target time" of 2 hours 30, which is what I had at tbe time. Now though, I am aiming for 1 Hour 45, maybe 1 hour 40, but have been placed in a much slower wave.

I really wanna push for time, so wanted to ask if there's any worth in me trying to move to an earlier wave on the day? The websites says not to do this, but for anyone who's done a race before do they actually check?

I am slowly making peae that a PB is perhaps not possible starting in the wave I am in, especially with how congested and tight it will be at the start. What do you all think?
