Well, it was tough but finished in 4.01.32, 235th out of 290 starters and 'm pretty satisfied with that. Felt sick as soon as I left home, though I didn't know if it was nerves or having breakfast at 5.30 am! Forced down some SIS energy drink and a liquid sachet in the car on the way there but that's all I had until after I finshed, apart from 2 small cups of water on the second run. I felt really sick on both runs. I enjoyed the cycling section and did it in an hour ½, but running the last climb of the hill was the hardest part, especially as there was a guy in front of me who kept walking, then running off, then walking again! I finally overtook him though. Was good to see so many ACC'ers giving their support, especially Marek, Tamar, Maria and Marco. Sorry I didn't have time to talk too much afterwards Marco, had to get home for a nice hot bath!
