In short: on target for a pb and then got lost!
In full: Not enough Marshall's and got really lost had to ask for directions and I live in Portsmouth. This really frustrated me as was doing so well, I nearly quit but did decide to continue even tho I ran over 27 miles. Lots of people got lost so an improvement needed. Fueling stations were great with plenty of food and drink and very motivating which I needed! When I did finish I was offered an extra large t shirt obviously I'm not that big as I run so that was abit disappointing. I'm also still waiting for a reply from my email that I sent over two weeks ago. This was a great race until I got lost at 19 miles still really frustrated by this as was so determined to get a pb

In short: Mud and more mud!
In full: I have got to say this was the hardest race I have every done. It was very challenging with all those hills and running in ankle deep mud was no fun. I quit twice at 10 miles and again at 17 miles. The thing that keep me going was the motivation of other runners and the Marshall's without them I would never had achieved this race. I can't thank the sweepers enough making sure myself and George crossed that finished line. A well organised day and think after this run the London Marathon will be a breeze. Thanks PJC for a rewarding but tough day. I will be wearing my medal with pride. Trust me though I will never ever do this run again. Anyone that is up for a challenge though must give it a go it is well worth doing and the views are amazing. Good luck to all you plodders next year I will be there but as a Marshall cheering you all on.
