sanddancer Target time was 10 hours. That was unbelievably hard. I'd always planned a run-walk strategy (very much more walk than run!) in order to get inside 10 hours. By about halfway I had big blisters on the soles of my feet, especially the left one. Every step was very painful and my walking pace dropped off by at least 10%. Strangely though, running was less painful so I ended up running far more than I was originally anticipating in order to keep myself on target. I thought the run-in to Streatley was never going to end - never has 5 kilometres felt so far. It was great to see Gobi and RatRace. Gobi runs faster backwards than I do forwards! I asked the people at checkpoint 6 who was first through and was told it was the man in the fluorescent top who looked Vale of Aylesbury AC 9:56:35 9:56:35 10:00:00 9:56:35 34.88
