Thanks Everyone 

For helping me to the finish in 31hrs 30min and donating so much money

I don't want to say too much so I have copied an email from Neil who ran with me as his words put it all into perspective

Love Alastair

Please also have a look at Dave's very funny blog www.hicksart.wordpress.com

Hi Alastair,

I hope you are feeling better now after sleep & proper food.

I've resisted the temptation to correspond today......because you must be sick of us all by now.!! However, I couldn't let the preceding weekend pass without my own personal comments.

In no particular order.......

You are truly an inspirational athlete with a large heart who remained focused throughout the weekend.

I'm sure your parents are proud of what you accomplished, as everyone who played their part in the weekend supporting was too.

I feel a bit of a fraud nursing my aching legs that powered me less than a third of what you did......and I broke the miles up with a sleep! Nevertheless, I'm grateful to have helped you complete your goal and 'play my part' however small that was.

The run was about raising cash for a good cause so I'll go online and donate (I know the website address as I stared at it on your bloody back for 42 miles!)

.......will catch up with you soon.

A sincere well done.

REST!!
