London Marathon 2011
posted 11 months ago
My first, my last, my only marathon done !
It was an adventure - finished in 4 hours 52mins. Lost a shoe, tooth & waist bag at 15 miles as tripped up and ended up in the gutter with 100’s water bottles.
The first half I was cruising & felt good - the last 12 were a killer with a painful hip & thigh. Ran between water stations but walked through them just in case I was felled again !
Never mind it was an experience and I can now call my self a marathoner with a sub 5 hours so under the circumstances I’m chuffed with myself ;-) had food a cider, massage at BHF party afterwards. Met Lisa from New Zealand. Saw Mike on Tower Bridge.
Loved the day, race, experience and atmosphere - next year ? NO..
