On Your Marks!

Done it!
26.2 miles - 3 hrs 45 mins 39 secs (8.61 min/mile)
Results confirmation
What a great day, perfect conditions for running (not for spectating!). The actual race far exceeded my expectations with regards to how I’d manage towards the end. Although the last couple of miles were very painful, I managed to keep going and finished with a great time. I’d hoped for under 4 hours which I did quite comfortably.
My mate Rob was a little disappointed as he’d pulled up towards the end when his knee gave way...he managed to finish though in a time of 4:08:45.
The whole experience was incredible. The support all along the route is very uplifting especially towards the end when you really need it.
Would I do it again? Well if the thought of those last few miles are soon forgotten...who knows.
It looks like we may well have raised over £2000 for the Hospice, which is great news.
By the way I also just beat Gordon Ramsay (3:46:10)...someone should have shouted 'he's behind you!'
