So...is my official time gun time or chip time?

I've never ran a chip time event before.

Feel much better about yesterdays run this morning. Slept very well last night and feel in quite good nick today. Legs are telling me not to get to cocky though;)

How good did it feel to cheer in the likes of MnP, Fanny and Raps, Treacle, Kazzaaah and loads of others. Surely that must be one of the best things about being a fetchie. Your never alone at a race if theres a fellow fetchie there.:)

Yes, well done to all, hope you didn't mind the "COME ON FETCHIES" call at Mile 24, some of you were looking a bit rough by then!

Marshalling was fun though, minus the few annoying motorists who don't understand what "slow" means...

See you all next year!

Any cheering for Fetchies was very very welcome yesterday - and I remember that one at mile 24! Thanks Ed:-)

Glad you're feeling better this morning billy - you had a great one:-)

Ultra Kazzaaaaah!!
First case of DOMS in October's races. Interesting new niggles which I'm hoping are nothing. I think two injuries at any one time is unfair enough. Don't need a third to contend with!

Thank you to everyone who helped make yesterday such a fantabolous day for me :-) It was just awesome and the Fetchpoint was amazing. I'm actually not sore today well apart from my hangover after getting stuck into the margaritas last night :-)

not feeling too bad today, my back hurts a bit (from the camelback flashflo, normally it is ok but since I only drank a few mouthfuls from it I was carrying it full all the way round), blisters really hurting but legs not too bad. Would be walking normally if it wasnt for the massive blood blister!!

Just reliased that I forgot to look at the T/sweat shirts. I didnt want to get one before the race but thought if I ahd a good run I would buy one if they were nice. Please tell me they were horrid and I didnt miss out on anything!!
