I did it! I'm now recovering post-event. It was harder than i could ever have imagined. Both the swim and cycle went better than expected and I felt strong with just a marathon left. But ten miles into the run my left knee and closely followed by my hips started to scream in pain. I slowed down to take stock and decided that I could not risk stopping  even for a wee!

    The pain came in cycles but with my family and friends cheering me on I made it in 12 hrs 17 mins. I came 235th out of over 750, with a fantastic 30th in my age group.

     I would like to thank all those that have made a donation as they honestly have been a spur when I didn't want to carry on.

      I do not know what I will do with myself now. I suppose a new job and baby in the next few weeks will put pay to that.

Thanks again

Col.
