Well done Chris D!
And big thanks to the nice Thumped heads for sponsoring me, you know who you are!
My race was mostly good. I went off at a blistering pace and did the 1st half in 1hr28mins. Hit trouble before that point with stomach cramps, then really hit the wall at about 16/17 miles, nearly gave up and started walking (briefly) at about 20 miles. Then I got my second wind after being passed by the 3hr pacers. Got my shit back together and finished in 3:07:57. I'm well happy with that as it was a bit better than I had predicted in the end.
It was sheer hell at that 16-21 mile point but I enjoyed the rest of it. Great atmosphere and it's nice to be able to enjoy a beer or two again.
Superb running altogether. Fair fucking play. I'm jealous!
