Got to halfway in 2 hrs dead, knowing I was going to pay for it later. Finished in 4:21 so ahead of prediction so pleased with that. I have learnt so much. I don't know what other marathons are like, but was well impressed with this one. The support was amazing, especially at that bit we passed 3 times, Fetchpoint was fantastic. That must be a great place to watch, seeing everyone come through fresh and smiling, then fresh and into the stride, then completely broken the 3rd time! A beautiful part of the world (if a little 'bumpy' for me). Well done all.

EdJ May 2012 6:32pm, 13 May 2012 24 posts	0 EdJ I thought it was a fantastic race - brilliantly well organised, enough people for it to feel a bit sociable but without the crowds, friendly and supportive marshalls, lovely scenery. I also liked the bit near Fetchpoint - although not sure about you Stiggers, but I vaguely remember passing it four times (although I was pretty broken by the third). Was very grateful for my orange segment at Fetchpoint - thank you to whoever gave it to me.
