Good luck to everyone.

I'm eating my own body weight in pizza tonight :-)

Should think I'll run anywhere between 3.30 - 3.45 but won't kill myself on this as it's not a target race

Bloody hell.

That was a nightmare!

Whoever created that route clearly has something against runners... hardest marathon/race I've ever run. Those hills are not to be undermined!

I ran 3.45 and was fourth woman (I think) which I was pleased with :-) won't be doing that one again though and the freak blizzard at 8:00am shook my confidence somewhat!

Fantastic organisation and everything went smoothly though, Beyond The Limits should be proud of themselves for today

Yep, ah well 5th is alright. It was a very tough course.

Well done on your time. Did I speak to you at the start?

How did you find those hills?
