Never again.......

I will never ever run that fu**ing race again as long as I live. EVER. Jesus Christ yesterday was hard, and not helped by  odd rain and hail showers ( the hail came when I was on the top of a hill of course and had nowhere to shelter).

Felt utterly miserable for the last third, and even had a little cry on the Beach at Branscome because I knew what was still to come!! I have never really considered giving up in a race before, but I did yesterday- I didn't think I'd make it to the end.

Time wise, I think I was around 15 minutes faster than last year, so that's something I suppose.

If I ever even consider doing this again next year, for Gods Sake KICK ME!

Just so you know, this picture was taken at the start which is why I am smiling. Apparently I didn't look too happy on the way back! but then I didn't feel too fu**ing happy!

She did moan an awful lot about it! Mind you, she moaned last year and still entered again! Anyway, enough about her, I had to wait like 5 hours for her! Next time you do it Wendy, could you aim for nearer 3 hours please? Thanks.

If you start training now you could run it too!! Or you could stay at home and support us from the comfort of the sofa while eating bacon butties!!

I can see it now.. I'll have to run with 10kg of camera bag and every now and then you'll make me run ahead and wait to get a shot of you running by, then I'll have to catch up to start all over again.

Home and bacon butties it is then!
