Not only did I complete the 13.1-mile course but, in my mind, I just "blew it away". The official start to finish time as measured by the chip on my shoe was 1:37:12 and so I am absolutely delighted to come in below 1:40.

I am also delighted that I have met my fundraising target, for which I am very grateful to all the donors. The "books" aren't closed yet and so do feel free to add to this page or drop me a cheque/cash. It is a great charity to support, tackling an issue with far-reaching implications which we still barely understand.

The photo was another taken by my 7 year old daughter, Lucy, just after I finished. I think she has a career in photography ahead of her and I can't imagine anyone else making me look more like Achilles!
