In short: Pulled out of the Picnic but I'll be back
In full: I was absolutely gutted after pulling out after coming round the second time round and going down those steps! Suddenly everything felt wrong and no matter how many jelly babies I stuffed down my face I couldn't get my head right again. I think I may have underestimated this bad boy in my training, I've done a number of marathons now, but nothing anywhere near as tough. However the whole experience was incredible, from the encouragement and support of the marshalls to the breathtaking views over Box Hill. I would definitely love to be back for 2011 and when I do, I'm gonna make sure I'm ready for it, everytime I see that midsummer munro medal it makes my spine stand up stiff and a new level of resolution. Certainly not a race for the faint hearted, but an absolutely incredible one.
