Hi all,
Just a very very short post to say that I made the race!
It took me 22h and 24min to run the distance, and the last 20km I did in 4h 30min, so to say that I was in agony is a gross understatement!
But now it feels fantastic (except for my feet covered in a nice mix of normal blisters and blood blisters).
I'll write a full race report and upload photos this weekend.
Thank you all for your support, your words of encouragement really helped me through the dark bits during the night (no pun intended *smile*)
