Well, we made it!

Thanks to the great support we received from everyone we got through the training and the injuries (well I did anyway) and helped on by great weather and a fantastic crowd, we finished the Bath Half and even managed to quite enjoy it.  Alex put in a fantastic effort to finish in 1 hour 45 minutes and 46 seconds, placing him 2696th out of a field of 11,000 runners!  I was predictably some way behind Alex and unfortunately missed out an breaking the two hour barrier coming in at 2 hours, 3 minutes and 57 seconds, placing me 6758th.  But that'll do me! However, there is a part of me that already thinks I am going to have to do this again to see if I can beat two hours!  Don't worry though, I am not going to keep coming after you all for sponsorship.

As you will see, there are a few photos as evidence.  Thanks to your superb generosity the T-shirt Claire had printed up for me went out of date almost as soon as it went to the printers and we hurriedly updated it before the race.  We have raised just over £1600 so far in direct sponsorship and Gift Aid should add another £300 or so, meaning that the Scoloiosis Association will receive somewhere in the region of £1800 which is brilliant.

Many, many thanks,

Neil & Alex
