I remember it as if it was just a week ago - oh goodness it was! FLM 2006 5hr 26 - ran the first half faster than I've ever done before (by 3 mins) and ran the second half in EXACTLY the same time!

1976,the year of the big heat wave, Milton Keynes - temp 90F plus. 2:41:17, crashed and burned.

Haven't run one since, though maybe next year (or it just post FLM fever, if so I'm sure the feeling will pass).
