Christ, my head is pounding, got in at 02:30 and up at 6. I don't know what's worse, my hangover or Contro's dancing :-)

Hmm, I await the photo posting with interest! Does anyone want a stolen fibre optic thing?!

I have shuffled round Manhattan working today. Wasn't a clever idea.

Hi everyone :)

Thanks for all the best wishes and speedy vibes, they must of helped ;)
Not too disappointed with those extra 5 seconds! FFS after all, it is still a PB on a tough course!

Garmin had an eppy at mile 15 (lost signal on Queensboro bridge) so had to go by stopwatch splits.

Bumped into Contro after finish, he was wearing all 5 majors medals!! :) Lol

Took a while to find my darling wife, as there were no Lettered meeting points, so had a few worrying hours before we met up again. But we're ok now :)

Well done to everyone else running yesterday, you were awesome! :)

Forgot to say, just read back the last 74 pages of this thread, as you were following the race.
It made for great reading, I thought I might sub 3 after all! ;)
