Thank you so much for posting this. I did yesterday and struggled from mile 10. I am an experienced runner with a FLM under my belt already but yesterday just got me. I felt sick and tired and seriously considered dropping out. in the end i came in an hr slower than previously. The crowds are amzing and the whole event worth the effort but I struggled yeseterday to express how i felt when i had finsihed. I couldnt understand how it had taken me so long but reading these forums today I feel so much better and i think all the emotion has just come out this afternoon. I can admit now that it WAS difficult.
i have G3'd since the begining of the series and I love them. In order I love - the cross country and scenery, the 8.45 start and the saturday race- All in all i enjoy the feeling at 11 am on a Saturday of virtuousness and well-being.... But hey - means i can enjoy saturday eveing and the accompaning beer all the more....
