:-) :-( :-p

All the emotions I'm feeling. After a FREEXING cold wait for the start, I felt great and then at mile 2, a bloody stitch. It came and went for the next ten miles, I ran the first half 3 minutes ahead of shedule and at 15 I thought sub 3:15 was nailed on. Then the stitch really hit me hard at 16, I had to get a medical person to rub it but no good. The last ten miles were sheer hell, so painful, but although I knew sub 3:15 was out, sub 3:30, which was always my main aim, was still on if I plugged away.

How I got through the last three miles I'll never know, I had to spend 20 minues in the medical tent after but I'm back at the hotel and fine, and very proudly clutching my medal.

Will blog later or tomorrow. Well done to all the other Fetchies.

well done all Fetchies, including Paula, in NY today.

Anyone know if there are any video highlights available anywhere on the web or elsewhere?

Watched Paula on EuroSports Two and she blew the opposition away... ;-)

However the Brazilian? Santos in the Mens Event was awesome to be 7 seconds behind with a mile to go and then blitz the Moroccan to win.... in my dreams ;-)
