Dave A Aug 2021 10:03pm, 19 Aug 2021 23,115 posts	0 Dave A The BG 😀 Best memory, apart from the dash to the Moot Hall would be the end of leg 3. Just over 40 miles in and after being revived by a bit of chocolate I buggered off from my support crew as quickly as I could to get into Wasdale completely off my face on endorphins.

ChrisHB Aug 2021 11:35pm, 19 Aug 2021 21,121 posts	0 ChrisHB There was the first time I ran the school cross-country course of two miles without stopping.... An achievement scarcely repeated. Or the time I was allowed to set out early on the three mile course and felt as if I was sprinting round. That never happened again.
EvilPixie Aug 2021 9:16am, 26 Aug 2021 27,399 posts	0 EvilPixie Just making a Brew and spotted a mug dated 2002 My first every XC - It was horrid, freezing cold, concrete mud as frozen solid and I finished to be given this mug! How daft I thought it's 1/2m to the race HQ and you give me a bloody mug Next stop homemade soup was added to that bloody mug- OMG I loved that mug! My first 5K - inaugural (and only!) Theale 5K dead last beaten by a 5yr old and his dad but BIGGEST high as I had finished! Waked home and entered Reading Half .... finished that, goal time 3hrs actual time 2:59! OMG a HUGE High. Got home and entered LM cos no one ever gets in 1st time! I got in 1st time ... panic entered Abingdon Mara. Finished last to a huge cheer by RW folk who presented me with a bottle of wine. I've been officially last at every distance I have ever entered (ultra events excluded) and almost every single one I have crossed the line with a humungous grin on my face buzzing at the feeling of being alive.
