In short: Never thought it was going to be so brutal....but well worth the pain.
In full: What a great event, have always read about it and finally took the plunge to put myself through agony, but what a sense of achievement, all of which made even more amazing with the incredibly friendly and encouraging fellow runners and the ever so positive marshals, they were fantastic. Thank you all for putting on this outstanding Olympic edition.

In short: Hardest Thing I have ever done
In full: Dr Rob thank you for the Bonus hills and extra few miles as if this was not going to be tough enough. I would like to thank all the Great marshals and my fellow runners for making this a an awesome experience. I'm so tiered I want to sleep but the pain from my body just wont allow me. I would say bring it on for next year but I don't think I'm man enough to do it again. Once again Thank you everyone for making it a Great event.

In short: cannot believe howhard this is!
In full: Was gutted to have done 16 miles in 3-31 and missed the cut but it was so hard I would have been out there all night if I had carried on so glad to receive the excellent medal for the munroe! If it had been the normal marathon could have done it but did not feel well on the day so will be back next year to try again!
