In short: Gut bustingly difficult, but worth the phenomenal achievement you feel at the end.
In full: I absolutely loved this marathon, it was tough, really tough, but great banter along the way and the fantastic sense of achievement at the end make it all worth while. Nothing will stop me from being here in 2009.
