Lottery for those who didnāt compete today opens up on Thursday
Hate when that happens
Well done mate.
If i had known you were going to walk it, i would have passed on some tips to you
Great stuff to all who took part today
Looks like @Bandage could do with a step back in trip
You know me, I donāt listen to good advice
Youāre obviously not an elite posterā¦
Poor Billy finished in an ambulance apparently. He fell at half way and couldnāt get the hands out in time. Blood flowing out of his head
I hadnāt heard that but just texted one of the lads and said he may have broke an orbital bone. Shame for him to finish like that but may be a blessing in disguise.
Top, top running gents. Ye can always say ye ran wan now.
Oi oi oi Billy is a regular contributor on here.
Seriously well done. I doubt you had any aspiration to run a marathon this time 3 years ago? Tough day out there but you got through it. Your progress has been unbelievable and donāt be disheartened.
Ah yeah, I did my first half less than a year ago after doing the 5km & 10km challenges on TFK in Spring 2021. Having a crack at a marathon only came on my radar after doing that first half. Iāll have to chalk this down to experience & get back into it in 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe target a couple of the festive shorter races. But enough of me clogging the thread, I would like to hear more from the rest of you about your race and race day experience.
We are all very proud of you buddy
Massive kudos to @Bandage , @Mac , @Wexford1996, @Rintintin, @Locke and @backinatracksuit. Genuinely uplifting and inspiring stuff. I will use it as a catalyst to get back into running myself.
Seriously appreciate the fundraising efforts @Mac and @Bandage. ā¬4,200 raised and counting. For a small charirty like ours that is highly significant. I know ours is a bit of a niche cause but I can promise you that money goes a long way and an investment we will use carefully to create the most impact. Thanks to all who have contributed.
Well done all. Hearing back this evening that few folks I know whoād be fit out had to go into ambulance around 20 mile mark. Absolutely goosed.
Great achievement and in decent time with niggles and injuries. Enjoy the pints of Becks tonight
Well said. Lot of fellas patting you on the head here like youre not a serious race athlete who just had an off day
Give yourself a bit longer would be my advice. Youāve had a tough block and your body needs recovery
