We did it! What a great day and fantastic atmosphere - the crowd were amazing! Thanks for all of your best wishes and generous donations, which helped us all get round.
If you still haven't donated then please, please can you help us get nearer to our target and reward us for our massive effort, by making a donation now?
We had great weather (we all got sunburnt) and the event was brilliant and inspirational as well as challenging and rewarding.
Rich and I got an incredibly close time given the distance - just 31 seconds apart. Greg was the real hero of the day though, after repturing a tendon at 19 miles he stopped and got some treatment from St John's Ambulance, then carried on running/hobbling the remaining 7 miles in some serious pain to still finish in under 4 hrs and 20.
Our exact times:
Greg 4:17:14, Rich 3:27.42, Dunc 3:27:11.
That makes our total combined time 11:12:10s and means the winner of the Total Combined Time competion is Donna Coleman who guessed 11:15:20. Well done Donna!
We're all looking forward to next year.
