Thank you!

Yes Larkim, I did spot you towards the end of the race and you were ahead of me, belated hello! I wanted to catch up and come over to you and say hello but the treacle wouldn't let me. You might have heard me making "ugh!" noises as I was really struggling at that point

Thanks Velociraptor, sorry I didn't get to meet you but maybe in future?

I shall be there next year. The fee is paid. Hopefully without the, erm, pain in the rear and the Portaloo bloodbath episode.

Think this is you at Holt, Benny? I think the noise there was as close as we'd be getting to the Tower Bridge experienced down in London!

Yes, that was me with my hands in the air!

I still thought the wall was just a conspiracy theory at that point so was still feeling buoyant...

I made the mistake of hunting myself out on the finish line video. Lord, I look terrible. And I thought I was in better shape than many at that point!!

Hi Larkim is there a link to the finish line video? I don’t know why but just had to pass someone by upping my pace

I’ve seen the pics of myself at the finish which don’t look too scary 🙄

Having seen my finish line photos, I'm reasonably confident I don't ;)

Been a weird day today - seem to have spent most of it yawning and fidgeting between sofas whilst being grateful the rain we had yesterday was nothing like that we've had today.

I did manage to do a bit of photo stalking and deduced that it was larkim who shouted to me in the out&back stretch. I also managed a very careful recovery shuffle to clear the fetchpoint bugs that accumulated over the weekend but that's about it exertion-wise. Hope to feel a bit less sleepy tomorrow.
