Hey guys,
What a day! Just a quick update on the race, will have a more detailed one in the next couple days.
It was an amazing day and I loved it from start to about half way through the run, then I started to blow up big time, my pace dropped and every stride was a struggle. Until then I was working my way through the field and had top five within reach. Unfortunately the rest of the guys didn’t struggle home as badly as me and I dropped just outside of the top 10.
It was an unbelievable experience and I learnt a great deal. I left everything out there on the course and when I crossed the line in 11th Place I was exhausted both physically and mentally. Not to mention the swelling, I looked like an Umpa Lumpa with most of my body swollen up due to my insides shutting down. Thankfully swelling has gone but chaffing and sore muscles are making up for it.
Congratulations to everyone who competed, it was a tough day and just to get through it is a major achievement.
Thanks everyone for the words of support and encouragement.
Already looking forward to next year
