It was brilliant running past you all. Good cheering. Nice to say hello to a couple of you after as well (I was running in the Sandhurst vest)

Does anyone know how long it took the bloke in the suit of armour to finish? He must have been bloody roasting in that thing.

A big thank you to the flash mob of fetchies in Musselburgh. I was so pleased to see you and it gave me quite a buzz.

Well done everyone that ran :) You all did great :) Glad to hear it gave you all a boost!

I remember when I did it too how much it helps to get the cheers! Unfortunately we did not have a water pistol this year to squirt at everyone but the loud horns made up for that!! Was great fun at Fetch point - would recommend it if you are not running :)

JammyLu, did you not see me squirting water at the back-of-the-packers? It was on request, I was not harassing the runners,, no matter what some fetchpointers claim to have seen ;-)

Oi, Renters, stop nicking my idea!

All I saw was some poor wummin almost choking to death with water dripping down her face an chest and apparently unable to speak english...... she stumbled off in the general direction of the course before the sweepers arrived :-o ;)

I distinctly remember worrying about having to resuscitate a drowning marathon runner.
