Hey everybody I smashed it.. What an amazing event so much support from spectators live jazz bands gospel singers & people with own home hifi speakers outside front doors it was magical Managed a confirmed time if 1hr.47 min & even spent time on my phone talking & texting updates.. But it all went down hill as I crossed the finish line .... Freezing cold weather set in.. :( had to see medics after became really ill felt super cold.. Was taken by St John ambulance to medical centre behind old register office on broad st.. now strangely had a temp of 38.5 Spent 3 hours on drip had electrolytes replenished..& warm fluids.. Bones jus seized up felt like I'd been shot!! But I cud av ran another mile it was just the finish & then standing around in wet clothes.. Hypothermia sets in.. They cud t even get any blood prick my fingers nothing no veins in fists.. After maybe 20 mins different doctors & wrapping me up in loads of blankets found 1 in my arm lol I'd do it again next year.. But maybe wrap up warm straight after.. English weather not so good :(( Than you all do very much once again.. It was all very worth it.. Day 2 after event & I'm still in bed my 10 year old Kyle is nursing me.. Bless him :))
