I did it!

Not as fast as I had hoped and I will admit that the heat, water shortage and, to be honest, under-prepared legs reduced me to a walk at times.

Still I did manage to pick things up over the last mile and sprinted to a time of 4:58:13

I know the difference that a Guide Dog can make to a blind person's independence and I would like to do my small part to support their fundraising effort.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Guide Dogs gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So thanks to all my sponsors whose support helped me keep going (and to those of you still helping me reach my target.)
