i got told off for not mentioning the elation of finishing.... to be honest i was getting bored with writing the report!

in fact i'm more pleased that i proved something i've known for the past 2 years, that i can run a sub 4hr marathon, and that i smashed that PB (personal best) by 30minutes.... than i am about finishing the full distance.

although obviously i'm also happy that i cam in well inside my 6hr target.

sometimes i get quite emotional after long events, the sudden release after sustained mental and physical effort. but not so much on this occasion, not that the physical effort wasn't great but certainly on the mental side was much more relaxed. maybe i'm just getting used to it!
